I'm in a similar situation, while I wasn't in an abusive relationship, and I must say CONGRATS to you for getting out safely but I'm a single parent with 2 kids. I worked for 10 years in telecommunications to support my girls and make sure they have the necessities in life. Well after 10 years at my company they decided to close the doors and shut my call center down. Instead of looking at that as a negative I took it as my door opening to do what I've always wanted and go to nursing school. I'm 37 years old and I decided to go with a nursing program that is fast paced, that I could finish in 18 months and have my R.N. at the end of the program. It's been hard as the school I selected only takes 30 nursing students per term. There are younger girls and probably smarter I find out on September 27th if I'm one of the chosen. GO FOR IT!!! It sounds like things in your life have lined up for you and this is your opportunity.. I believe everything happens for a reason and the struggles you have gone thru will make you an awesome and compassionate Nurse. With your trials and tribulations you WILL be able to make a difference and if nothing else it will teach your children a PRICELESS life lesson that no matter what life throws at you ALWAYS pursue your dreams. Keep in touch and let me know how things go for you!!!
