[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 690870, member: 18516"] I didn't have any major issues growing up. I had the utmost respect for my parents. They were both very calm people, I do not recall them ever raising their voices. My issues started when I hooked up with my ex. I was young and thought I was "in love". I ended up getting pregnant and tried for a a little over a year to make a go at it. My ex could not hold a job for more than a few months and of course it was never his fault that he got fired. I worked at a fast food place but my income was not enough to support us and lets not forget I was naive and turned my paychecks over to ex. He told me that he was the man of the house (I should have ran then :cautious:) and that he would pay all the bills. What a big fat lie that was. Then the late notices started coming, the threat of eviction and so on. So, I called my parents crying not knowing what to do and my dad would send money. My ex always swore that my dad would get paid back. Like I said, I tried for a little over a year but came to realize that I had made a huge mistake getting involved with him. I'll be honest, it was pure physical chemistry. My parents tried to be supportive and I loved them for that but I felt so slimy taking money from them. I left my ex and ended up working two jobs to support myself and son. Ex never paid any child support even though it was ordered through the courts. He never held a job long enough to have his wages garnished. I worked two jobs for two years and was then able to get into a large corporation and with a lot of effort I worked my up in the company and had a very nice career for 20 years until hubby and I moved to the Midwest. Once here, I found another awesome job:) Because my parents were so willing to help me played a role in my willingness to help my son. [/QUOTE]
