We have two beautiful children one is 3 and other soon to be 6. We have always struggled financially even though my husband has always worked full time, there is just never enough money to pay all the bills. I'm at home with miss 3 and studying full time aswell so don't really have the time for getting a job myself. I'm battling depression and anxiety and finding it hard to get up each day knowing we are falling further and further behind with the bills. We truly are doing the best job possible but that doesn't seem to be enough. I feel like our marriage is falling apart, we're drifting further away from each other everyday.
I feel like I'm crumbling into pieces and don't know how to pick myself up again. I need to stay strong for my two precious child but don't no how.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, and how did you dig yourself and family out?
Stay at home mum xxx

Go and see a Financial adviser who will help with budgeting, ways to pay off debts etc once you have budgetplan in place you feelalot happier and incontrol
Definately seek financial counselling of some kind. Usually your local community centre will have a service available to help you. If I was in your situation, I would consider deferring my studies and getting a part time job. My relationship and my family's financial security are very important to me, more important than my education. Personally, I would return to study when we were in a better position financially.
You might even find that your part time job helps you feel a lot better about yourself and less depressed; contributing financially is a GREAT boost to self esteem. Good luck mumma!
