Single Mom Needs a Car
I work full time raising two children on my own. My husband walked out on us July last year. He took everything. I ended up moving north with some family. I live in a home with family. Space is limited but we manage. I want my own place like any adult would I also do not have a car due to my husband taking it. I have a newer boyfriend. He is willing to give me his blazer placed in my name. Many miles older blazer but runs good no problems and I could get a place. I am not one to take hand outs. I work for what I am which isnt much any more. So i Have been going back and forth with his offer or just getting a car of my own right now and then working on the home part. Just looking for some advice.

I hope you have seen a lawyer and had formal separation papers drawn up and served on your husband. As the father of your children the law provides that he must be financially responsible for them until they reach their 18th birthday. That means he must pay child support each week or month to the courts that will send the money to you.
If you have not had the proper papers filed with the court and are not receiving proper child support or any child support. Seeing a lawyer and having the proper papers filed and having you husband live up to his financial responsibility will go a long way to solving you money problems.
I understand how you feel about accepting help. It feels like charity. Don't let pride get in your way. If you need the car take it. It will help you get a better job than one that may be accessible only by public transportation. When you have the funds to purchase a car of your own choosing; Offer to return the Blazer to the person who gave it to you before using it as a trade-in. What I am saying is you can accept it as a lone if it makes you feel better, one you will return when and if you no longer need it. If it provides a means to an end then take it.
