I was a waitress, I was going to school, and I was pregnant. But we continued on until the baby was born. Our first daughter, Breanne, was born and I had just graduated from college and was taking time off with the baby.
While I was at home with Breanne I didn't want to put her in day care why worked. So we talked about it and he agreed I would be a stay at home mom and he would do what ever he had to do to support us. Go to school, work, two jobs, etc.

I tried many stay at home jobs, but more often than not over the years I have put more investment into these jobs then I ever got out of them. There is just not an honest field lucrative enough to be a stay at home mom. My parents understood how I felt and helped support us whenever they could, so they pretty much made up the difference of me not working over the years.

Mark however continued to be Mark, never keeping his promises of going to school, etc. We were always short on money because of his problems. So, two more children and 16 years later I was still a stay at home mom with the help from my family. Mark has been in and out of jobs over the last 16 years and we have moved dozens of times.

Everyone has told us that eventually his ways will catch up with us. I, however, kept supporting him and believing in him and making excuses for him, but this last time even I said enough is enough because now he is hurting our children & my mother as well as me.
