Re: My mom keeps putting me in awkward positions…

My family does help out with my daughter but behind my back my mom tells people that i’ve burdened her with my daughter. She doesn’t say it directly, but when her friends come over, I know exactly what they mean.

I never wanted to move back in with them, I had to because I had also no money coming in. I do want to move out, but I can’t find someone to look after my daughter while i’m at uni, nor do I have enough money coming in right now. I’ve talked to my uni and they say I can study some classes part time and some classes from home, that means if I can get a full time job as well, I can buy my own apartment. I’ve gotten all of my wedding jewellery valued and if I sell it I’ll have enough for a down payment on a apartment, the move and maybe even some furniture.

I just want to be atleast 75% sure, and right now I’m not even 50% sure of how I will manage. I don’t want to move out and have no money saved, for if I need any. I REALLY want to move out, and I’ve done all of my homework, but it’s overwhelming, I am responsible for my daughter and moving out is a big decision. I want to move out, I just don’t know how, if that makes any sense?

Do you live in the US?
