Hi all, I can't believe I am here, but this year has been extremely tough. When this year started, I was a married man with a family of 6 living on two incomes, now I am a single father with custody of my children and one income. I had to move out the day I caught a man in bed with my wife and it's been a rough ride since. Since I moved out that day it was hard to find a place affordable, so I found the first place that could accept us knowing I could sustain us for a while but it's been incredibly tough and tight. I thought we'd be fine, but the kids are older and have more needs as they go through school. I'm doing my best, I'm also very depressed and deal with PTSD from many things including the trauma from the past year. It's not healthy but I am basically eating one meal a day so that they can eat whatever they want and never go hungry. I don't get child support and I make too much for government help so it's tough. Sometimes I stream on Twitch for donations but that's hit or miss (usually a miss), I'm trying to get my photography business going, but that's felt impossible and I really don't want to do anything outside of that that would risk me losing my job. The other thing I do atm is doordash for extra cash but we have one car and I'm doing my best to make sure it stays reliable.

Not everything is doom and gloom, I am becoming a better person, and better parent, but it would be nice to relieve some stress. Any help is appreciated, honestly.
