Wow, you do need to vent. I am glad you posted but sorry for what you are going through. You are going to be so blessed for taking in your brother's two kids. It may not be easy all the time, but what you are doing is a wonderful thing. When you get the children, you will be eligible for Medicaid, food stamps and adc. Aid to dependent children. So make sure you go to social services and apply for the help. You are an angel for doing this. I am serious, you will be blessed.

Hugs, Karen

Be still and know I Am.

You may have very little time to be still, but he know you are struggling and is there for you.

Peace.

Wow, I'm shocked reading about the situation you're in. I don't see how it's possible for one person to care properly for 5 infants especially someone with anxiety and depression. You were venting and not looking for advise so I won't give any.  I'm so very sorry what you going through.  Far too much stress and responsibility for someone so young.

Hey screwanxiety22,
I like the scripture you wrote. God loves to come through for us in seemingly impossible situations. What he is looking for in our HEARTS is FAITH through Christ Jesus to believe and trust that he will guide us to answers, even supernatural miracles. continue reading the Bible and BELIEVING God's promises; he is faithful to come through!

Sincerely, Patrick

This has to be so hard on you. It would be hard on anyone but especially since you are so young. You haven't said how old the children are but I know that when mine were around 4 or so, they loved helping me do things. If they are that age or older, they can help you with things around the house. Also you need to check with all the social service type places to see what type of assistance you can get. This is too much for you to try to do on your own and there is help out there for you. Just take it minute by minute right now. You have to take care of yourself as well.

Much love and gentle hugs,
Lynn
