When your dream turns into a nightmare

Question - (30 August 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 August 2010)
A female United Kingdom, *onfusionz writes:

A while back I posted a message stating that I was looking forward to immigrate with my son to start a new life in the caribbean where my mother now lives.

I had intended to pursue a business but I can tell you it has certainly turned out to be a nightmare all being down to my mother! I could go on a lot about her but the bottom line is that she accused me of assaulting her (which I truly did not). I am up in Court in November for something I did not do. She also kicked my son and I out of her house like dogs as we had nowhere to go. I have since had to rent an apartment and had to abandon my dream of setting up my own business as I had to get a job which helps to pay the rent and maintain us. I have held down a job for 5 weeks now and have been told that they no longer require my services. This has left me shattered again as I was just trying to come to terms with how my mother has treated us.

I really don't know what to do now and I've been thinking that maybe I should just return home although it is not something that I can afford to do right now. My rent is due soon and my son goes back to school in a week's time. I need to buy his books and uniform with not much money coming in to support us. I'm really stuck and just want to know if I should give up on my dreams (my mother would be glad about that) or do I persevere although jobs are hard to find out here and the pay is crap.

BrownWolf agony auntWell, Sorry to hear about your nightmare.

However, there is always good in every bad. Your mother has set a fine example of what not to do to your son. So now you will pick yourself up and be a much better mother than she is.

This should not make you give up your dreams, in fact it should make you pissed off and work harder at it. When you are successful, make sure to say thank you to your mother.

She has shown you how to be a better mother, she shown you that you must fight to get what you really want no matter how people treat you, or how many doors seem closed.

If everything had gone your way at first, you maght not have appreciate having your own bussiness, as you would when you get it now...Good luck, and keep fighting.

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntThat's certainly no way for a mother to act. Where there is a will, there is a way. Look for a job, earn money, put it all into a bank account and when it's large enough, you could try investment, sooner or later, your dream will come true. I KNOW you can do it.

Best wishes for you and your son.

I hope that helps.
