You just have to keep trying! Keep your head up. What do you have a degree in if you don't mind me asking? As a person in the middle of getting her degree I find it hard to find experience just to get a job after college. Have you checked into internships? If you tell me where you are from and what you went to school for or waht you want to do I can help you look.

I think you are making a big mistake comparing your life to your friends. You cannot control anything other than what YOU can do. Do everything you can to make your life better for you and your kids. At the end of the day, if you can look at yourself in the mirror and know you put forth a legitimate effort to better yourself, that should be satisfaction enough.
Your life does not improve overnight, but with hard work and realizing you can only control what you have the ability to, you will wake up one day and realize you finally made it!!

If you give up then what is the point of living and friend there are so many reasons why we must live. For our partners, parents, children, God and most and foremost ourselves.
Life although very difficult for most of us, is not easy, it is not intended to get things simply handed to us. Would be sort of nice but unfortunately this is what it is for a great deal of us.
I completely understand your stance, I too have 2 kids and no job. Due to no job I have lost my home, my credit, and all I owned. There are have a great many of days I have wanted to end it all. But wait, I am still here and all this within the last 8 months. So changes I know a thing or two.
You have to continually tell yourself today I am going to make a difference. Some days I want to crawl in bed and cry and never come out. Some days I sit at my pc and type with tears rolling down my face. But I cannot and will not give up. Neither can you.
You have to find the strength, what helps me is prayer, although many days I find they go unanswered, I do however think about no matter how much I have lost, I have a place to sleep every night, although not a whole lot I am able to eat. So what you have to do is the same. Keep telling yourself, you have 2 children depending on you and you cannot give up.
Good Luck to you my prayers out to you also.
