Belle, your live in boyfriend should be suppoting you mentally and emotionally.

If he can go out, why can't you ?  Why do you have to come up with all the answers ?  I'm sorry, he seems like a jerk.  If this man really cares for you, he will help take care of the child, help with the household chores and give you a break.  I know all about being out of work and being broke.  It's down right scarry.

We have hade our utilities cut off, our car taken away, and our home almost forclosed on.  One thing I could always count on is the support of my wife.

Can you say that about your boyfriend ? I hate to ask, but does he really love you or does he just use you for food and clean clothes and sex ?  Think long and hard about that and you will find the answer.

God bless you and keep in touch.  Every friend you have is one more answer to the puzzle.
