Living day to day in fear

Terrifying was living a life of lies...being a single mother, while looking for happiness...

Terrifying was never knowing what the next day would bring..

Terrifying was raising 3 children under four..where was my food coming from, my shelter, my time to be me..

Terrifying was would I ever come out of this situation..would my next guy I brought home stay or leave..

I lived like this for 7 years, taking any job I could to take care of my family without asking for things.

The dangerous part was always reminding myself "don't give up, never give in, you will be happy, it's all inside of you to live for your precious babies you were blessed with..don't give up"
