I'm slighty ashamed to be writing this post but i desperately need some good advice thoughts and prayers. In January,my 14 year marriage suddenly ended a long and not a very pretty story..so right now i'm a single mom with a 14 dd and a 11 dd ,my eldest still goes to school and my youngest is going to be hs and this is where things get complicated. When married we were'nt well off ,comfortable but now i'm struggling it looks like i'm going to have to work part time which is not a issue and hs my dd when i'm not working,there are not many second hand bookstores here in the uk that sell curriculium books so i have no idea where to start. Inbetween all this i want and need to go to college as i still plan -which was a decision my ex husband and i made that we would emigrate to the states,well as we're no longer together i have to find a way for me and my girls to get our visas,and find work in the area of the states we have chosen to move too so thats a added burden.(we desperatley want to get away from the UK) I just feel like no matter what i try just when i think things are going good something happens to knock us back...prayers and thoughts would be gratefully recieved girls,anything to help us get through.
Your family is in my prayers.:angel: I was wondering, is your x-husband still a big part of the children's lives? If so, how does he feel about you bringing the children to the USA? Is he going to come over one day, on his own, so he can be near his children or is he pretty much out of the picture? Sorry if I sound nosy. I am wondering so I can pray accordingly.:love: Patty
You have my prayers....I wish I could send hugs. I wish I could help, but I have no idea how the immigration system works here. Praying for you.
Thank you both for your prayers, Patty my ex is still a big part of the girls life and he agrees that they will have a better life in that states,no i doubt very much if he will ever move to the states.His heart is elsewhere.
Faith, I am praying for you! I hope things work out for you! I'm so sorry things didn't work out with your marriage, but God is still with you and will be with and guide you! Keep strong! (((((HUGS!)))))
Faith, I am praying for you and your family, Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". I believe he will meet your needs and you shall find away here. When you do keep us posted and I can possible send you some books. Blessings Lisa
Whew! I can see how you'd feel "knocked back!" Moving would be a major undertaking, especially when you've just experienced a major life-crisis. You also mentioned college and work and homeschooling. That's a lot to tackle all at once! I see you're desperate to get out of there. Is homeschooling not very popular? Or you're needing to change scenery because of memories? Or the culture? Don't feel like you have to answer these, if you don't care to. Like Patty, I'm not sure how to pray, except that God will give you strength and comfort and direction.
Prairie home schooling is considered extremely alien in the Uk its not a "done" thing.They look at you as if to say why on earth would you want to sacrifice your own life to teach your daughter when there is a perfectly good school ,but i don't consider it sacrifice and the schools have'nt done much to help apart from limit her learning and immediately say she can't do this and that because of her hearing. Their are many reasons why i want to move to the U.s,i have good friends who i class as family but here in the uk there is nothing for the children ,my girls are classed as wierd because i don't allow them to run the streets wild like there friends do ,its too dangerous.The last few months there have been nothing but stabbings on school children simply because they didnt like the look of them....there are many other reasons one of them being the Uk is a very expensive place to live compared to the US. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Bless you!!!!
I just wanted to add my support and positive thoughts. I know you must be a strong woman to be taking all of this on by yourself and I applaud you for that. I hope everything works out in the best possible way. Just know that we are all here to support you in any way we can.
