Sorry for not posting for a while, things have been pretty hectic around here. Ive moved back to Modesto where i now live with my girlfriend and her Three children... none of them are mine, tho i love them like they are, but im worried about our situation effecting all of our relationship. currently, other than my music, i am unemployed, and make a meager amount of money a month. my girlfriend who is still recovering from a very abusive relationship of 12 years, is going to school and receives food stamps and cash aid to cover the kids. i didnt know until moving in with her that she was 2000 dollars behind on her rent, and had a 900 dollar utility bill to catch up with... lets just say it was quite the suprise, especially since ive been single for a while, and despite my small income i was able to avoid a debt hole. ive helped take care of this in the last three months, but its starting to interfere with our relationship. anyone got any suggestions?

Money and financial issue has been the ruin of many a good relationship.
What really matters is if you to honestly care for each other. If you do, then try putting the financial issues aside and spend some quality time each other. Try to find time to nurture the relationship with out outside factors getting in the way.
It is easy to allow financial issues, outside factors, and other influences to drive a wedge between the one you care about. Pull together and work as a team. Use this time of hardship to strengthen your relationship rather than dissolve it. In time the things will improve,....looking back you will be able to know you made it through together.
