life changes, but Im always Ashley


 I know I'm not perfect!
Back to Full Blog  

Hey bloggers!

Okay, now I know I'm not perfect and I'm not really trying to get my blog back on the subject of my dramas here at the in laws house...BUT...

Today I had a long conversation with "the boyfriend" it was mostly friendly, but I just wanted to share some of the conversation, and maybe get some comments and opinions back!

It started off by me telling him that I want to start going to church. I told him that the reason I want to go is to get my relationship with god on the right track, and that I feel that this will help me to get my life in order...

He told me that I don't need to go to church...I need to get a job!

LoL, yes I know I need to get a job! But something that you guys don't know about me is my medical issues. I have had pretty bad anxiety on and off since I was a teenager. It has stopped me from doing a lot things in my life, and is the main reason I am still living here in Las Vegas. I have tried many different medications, none of which have helped. My anxiety attacks are the main reason I do not have a job right now. It was so bad I wouldn't even leave the house at one point. I still get like that if I'm around too many people at once, I just get way too overwhelmed, I start feeling like I can't focus and when it's really bad, I start feeling like I'm going to throw up, or I can't breathe. I don't expect anyone who has never experienced this to understand, but it is a real problem!

OKay so back to the conversation. He told me that, it's nothing personal against me. He just doesn't want matthew and I living here, he just wants it to be him, Colleen and his son Ryan. He said, that I should have a job and I should have my own place, and that I should have moved out by now. Okay true, I guess.

I told him that I don't feelthey have the right to judge me for what I'm doing at this point in my life, because they weren't doing anything better when they were my age, his defense was...well, so what that doesn't matter... you live here in her house, and don't you think you should have moved out by now? Well,I guess so...but if she wanted me to move out in a certain amount of time shouldn't she have said that??? She's never talked about it with me, she's never told me to get a job, the only thing she's ever said, was that she just wants me to keep the house clean. Colleen came home while we were talking and she asked him what we were talking about, he said, "I was just telling Ashley how I feel about her and Matthew living here" She had a look on her face like she wasn't very happy with him. Then he went in the bedroom to change his cloths and she asked me what were talking about. I told her that I wanted to start going to church, she was like, wow I think that's a good idea. I told her that Ryan said, "I don't need to go to church I need to get a job" she was pissed! She was all, what an asshole...whispering stuff like just not to listen to him, he's rude kinda shit.

So anyways, sorry to keep going back and forth...I know this isn't very well written, so bare with me if you can!
I asked him, "okay, what exactly do you think I should do...say starting Monday morning?" He said, "I think you should get dressed up, get Matthew dressed, go catch the bus...and start applying for jobs" I'm thinking are you F****** serious??? Does anyone agree that I should take my 2 year old with me to look for a job??? Cause to me that is along the lines of impossible!

I already feel pathetic enough that I don't have a job at 22 but it's not that I'm just lazy and don't want to work, it's not that at all!

I did bring up the fact that I'm raising my kid, and that I try my best to be a good parent He didn't disagree with me about that one bit! He even said, that I was a REALLY good mom, which makes me happy to hear from anyone, but even more so from someone who may look down on me concerning the rest of my life, because if he were to acknowledge anything about me, I would much prefer it be that I am a good mother, because my baby is my life, and comes first before money or anything in my life. I love him soooo much!

I do want to get a job, and move out on my own, but without a car it's just isn't going to work. Is that wrong to think I need a car first??? I mean seriously...where should I start???

I need some serious help!!!

Goodnight and God bless,
Love Always, Ashley

yuh know, I was talking to a colleague of mine earlier who is giong to be going down to vegas in February with a bunch of, like scene - independant Canadian clothing store owners for a big up trade show, and I thought of you. I'd love to hook you guys up - (our)Julie is great - but you are even better - seen all your pics. And don't worry about anxiety, that's easily overcome by giving him the boot - just gather up your stuff (and Mathew), and follow us to the great white north (Canada). I'm sure you get it from everyone, but Mathew's Dad needs a rality check. Maybe I should fly in there with all the friends from Canada - we'll take care of you, sort of like the Canadian elves, and Santa and all that.

And I have to make my comments from several thousand miles to your north? There shouldn't be anything more confusing than that. Julie is a darling I work with up here, and it was all meant to be light hearted - but poking at the places you need to thinking about - anyway, you should have my other message by now - ciao! I hate that you are blogging this late - but it speaks volumes about you for perservering.

Hey it's not his house from what I gather so who is he to tell ya to move out. Have you thought about baby sitting other children? I made tons of money when I did that. And I know what you mean about panic attacks. I used to get them. They key is to understand that you are not dying even though you feel like you are. I take Zoloft and feel much better. It got really bad when my ex-fiance aka The Stalker was um stalking me! And then again after Sweet Annie died. Just take a breath and make a game plan and set some goals for yourself. I keep telling you to go back to school. They sometimes have daycare there. And maybe watch a kid or two for some cash. And going to church by the way is a wonderful idea and great way to network and meet people Ash. Hang in there!

After my daughter's car got wrecked she was glad she was on a busline...Sometimes it is hard to get a job when we don't feel very good about ourselves...Church, any religion, is also usually a good idea...You are a great Mom and a very good person. When you realize this things it will get better...I think they already are...Colo

Lucy had a great suggestion...Daycare in the home....Don't let the man in your life get you upset. Sounds like he has his own issues.

Only you have the power to change your life and I think having a job and steady income could only be a good thing for you and your son. There are a million reasons NOT to do something, your son should be the one reason you do (not your bf). Make a positive change in your life and get your strength from God.
