I just want to talk about this.

I have to:

Get a secure residence
Get a source of steady income (SSI, disability, or some type of job that's legal)
Attend parenting classes
Go to therapy for mental health
Keep my visitations (digital or in person if I can)

That's a great plan, I wish you success and happiness. It is a lot to deal with, one step at a time and it will work out :heart:

I've started therapy.
I'm doing visitation.
I've signed up for a lot of housing lists.
I'm doing vocational rehabilitation.
I'm going to look into SSI disability.
I'm planning on asking about parenting classes....? I'm not sure where to find them.

I pray to God my ex goes away.

I'm a big fan of parenting classes. Mostly my local library connected me with free county parenting classes (at the local recreation center), I also took 24 hrs worth of free classes for foster care, but I am not sure that outside folks can take them.

I find this online for Oregon.

Congratulations on taking these steps!! !

You have to keep to the program...and work hard not to go away from it.
