What to do?

I need some advice...I start school in January and my question is how can I keep my self motivated? I'm 28 with four kids, my boyfriend and I broke up a few weeks ago, he's now living in another state with his mother...but this has been my dream and I've put it off long enough....so I can't wallow right now...I need advice on single parenting and going to school....I have no emotional support from family and no real friends...so I need to keep myself motivated. I know there are gonna be times when I want to pull my hair out or scream and holler because no one understands what I'm going through....when those times come what do you do? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks so much.

The best thing too do is keep your eye on the prize and imagine yourself when your all done with school and working, how proud of yourself, you will be and how proud your kids will be of you. Do you really want to have another year go by and be in the same place as now ? Forget all of those ppl who dont believe in you. I understand you very much, Im a single mom of 3, and no friends in my area. I'd forget about the guy completely, you broke up for a reason, and if he's living with him mom he's got nothing going for him in the first place. See your on your way to fufill your dreams and he's living with his mom, thats a yay for you !

Just take it one day at a time and put one foot in front of the other. You can do this. You may want to seek out resources through your school, there are many for people in similar situations as you who can be a great support system for you.

Best Wishes!

Bubblegumdreams... listen you need to hold yourself accountable!

You say you have 4 kids, then ask yourself "What would I want my kids to do in this situation?" and I think you have your answer.

Stick to this motto on any troubling situation and you will have your answer.

Stay strong =]
