My dilemmas on being a single parent

Everyone knows that being a single parent is hard enough. It becomes harder when you’re the breadwinner of your family + you have a new partner pa. It can’t get any harder. I know it’s all a matter of setting priorities and knowing where to focus. But sometimes it just gets a lot more complicated. How?
I live with my family and I basically provide for them. I started sending my brother to college last year and I’m glad he’ll be in his sophomore year this coming June. I’m praying and hoping that when he graduates, he’ll start helping our family kasi I know it’s not gonna be easy for me when Nyx starts to study na. It’s hard to feed a family of six. I live with my parents, 2 other sibilings and ofcourse, Nyx. My dad stopped working several years before I graduated in college and since then, we don’t have any other source of income but me. I have been the sole provider of the family for almost 4 years now. Not that I’m complaining but things get harder every day.
I don’t want to go in details but I just wanna vent out. Haaay! I wish I was born rich. It gets more complex kasi Erick and I want to get our own place na kaso we are hesitant since Nyx is too young to be left alone with a nanny. I don’t plan to abandon my family; it’s more of setting limitations that I cannot provide everything they want. I can only make sure that we have good food on the table, electricity, water and the like. But anything outside necessity, I can’t provide that anymore. I wish I can explain myself to them but they never understand. Haaaay.
I’m just really stressed out. I needed to vent out. And I feel worse kasi I had 3 sticks of cigarettes na – a deviation from my goal.
I’m sorry for the negativity.

Tomorrow is a better day. Good vibes please!!!
