[QUOTE="busywend, post: 110967, member: 391"] Seriously, ILMS, what you are doing is very hard to do. I do not think anyone would discount the work you have ahead of you. You need to turn around your outlook. Your family does not need to help you. I almost sense an entitlement not much different from what I imagine my difficult child to have. I urge you to rethink what you are about to embark on. Do not hold this against your family. It is not their job to make sure you have a home and food. Heck, I am guessing R&D are having you move to push you forward to force you to do this on your own. I bet it is killing them to do it, too. Anyway, start a notebook. Write down all the supports that are available in your area. Write in the addresses, directions, phone#s, contact names, etc. Keep notes on what the results are for each place you try. You will need to track appointments and such. Once school is back in it should be easier. Stay home one day and search the internet, phone book, etc. One or two days a week take 4 or 5 hours while Beaner is in school and get the bus schedule and go all the places you have made appointments at. If you have had interviews, send a thank you note for the opportunity to interview. If they do not hire you, kindly ask them what you can work on to better your chance next time. KEEP NOTES on all of this. Make finding a job your full time job. Read up: [url="http://www.careerjournal.com/jobhunting/interviewing/"]http://www.careerjournal.com/jobhunting/interviewing/[/url] Send me your resume - I would be glad to take a look to see if there is anything you need to change. You CAN do this! You are a strong woman raising a child on your own! I know that makes you strong! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! (yes, I was and still am a cheerleader! LOL!) [/QUOTE]
