Question:

Is anyone else going through the same thing?

by Guest32484 | earlier

I live alone with just me and my dog in a rough neighborhood. My boyfriend is currently locked up awaiting sentencing on Monday. I work two jobs to barely support myself and I have two court cases pending against me right now? I am on supervised probation for the next 2.5 years and am always super stressed out. I am 20 by the way and I am not going to leave my boyfriend so don't even bother responding in that way. I just want to know if anyone else is going through the same thing and how they are coping. None of my family or friends seem to understand they think my life is good because I have my own house and car and I have a loving boyfriend, but sometimes the stress is unbearable!

No, I can't relate. I haven't ever been in trouble with the court and neither has my husband. It does make me appreciate the fact that my life consists of grading papers, cooking, cleaning, and other ordinary tasks.

It's hard. Sometimes you get kicked in the teeth. I live in a bad neighborhood, husband left, car was stolen, fatherless son to raise... somebody stole my lunch today. I'm hungry. I wouldn't trade my life for a comfortable life in the suburbs married to a doctor with 2.5 kids in a million years. This life has given me character. Though because of my beauty and brains, I really was supposed to be kept. Oh well.

Girl get yourself together. I was just the same as you and then I woke one day and asked myself is this how I want to spend the rest of my days? h**l no it wasn't..

Shape up and abide by the law, life is a lot simpler and more enjoyable.

I'm guessing that your boyfriend is a convicted felon, or about to be, so you are or are going to be violating your probation soon, good luck with that.

Hang in there! In 2.5 years you can start your life over and maybe even sell your house to move into a better neighborhood. You can get through it if you just believe in yourself.

no I'm not going through this but I know a man who knows everything your going through and he can change your life as well as your bf's life his name is Jesus. If you don't pray try it you will feel the stress begin to leave your life.Find a church in your area to attend they will help you in many ways.

Sorry but you sound married to the court system.

This is how your life runs when you surround yourself with criminals.

i'm sorry, my husband is not locked up and i am not on probation. your life does sound stressful. why not make an effort to stop the illegal activities? maybe that would help....

Of course the stress is unbearable. You are living with the consequences of your bad choices. This does not mean you can't turn things around for yourself.

Ever read Life Strategies by Dr. Phil McGraw....Great book if one recognizes a change needs to be made.

Past behaviour is a predictor of future behaviour. However, one cannot change what they do not acknowledge.

I am certain that you are a smart, lovely person. Making wrong choices that have gotten you in this predicament does not make you a bad person. You are a good person who has made bad choices.

Keep on the right path, start telling yourself you are a good person as perhaps the tape playing in your mind may tell you different.

You are so worthy to deserve living a good life free of bad choices that have brought you to where your find yourself at this point.

All the best to you,

K

I am almost twice your age and I've never been arrested - so it's hard to relate. But everyone can feel a lot of stress at times.
