Stream emergency today and update
3 days ago
Hey guys! I'm back again to let you know that I'll be streaming in about an hour. My situation is pretty complicated right now. I've been getting by thanks to the money you all give me through commissions and support, but living expenses have been quite high: rent for where my daughters and I live, utilities (electricity, water, taxes), my oldest daughter's high school tuition for next year (I'll go into more detail about that later), the girls' end-of-year festivals, etc.
On the "family" side—my relatives on my side, my father, mother, and brother—I've cut all ties. Very painful things have happened, for example, the constant criticism of being a single mother, the constant criticism of not having immediate solutions to problems. The support at first was good, but when I suggested looking for a job and asking for temporary support during my absences, they gave me a resounding NO.
I've also suggested other ways, temporarily, if they could support me, and it's been a resounding NO. On one hand, I understand, but on the other, I don't, since they insisted I return to Uruguay so that "we wouldn't be alone" and that they would "help me with everything," but oh well, that's how things are.
Am I surprised by that attitude? No, they've done it before. I thought maybe this time they'd support me, but I was wrong. Now I have to do it on my own again. For the time being, we'll be in Uruguay, since in Argentina, policies regarding care for people with disabilities are complicated, and here I've managed to get some things in terms of educational benefits for my little ones.
Regarding my eldest daughter's education, I've been looking into secondary schools that take her autism into account. While there's a law in the country promoting the inclusion of children and adolescents with autism, it's partly up to the institutions to comply. I've inquired with various parent groups, organizations, and other sources to see if there were any suitable options in the public system, but I haven't had any luck. However, two months ago, someone recommended a secondary school for students with different disabilities that is very inclusive. I had interviews with the principals and teachers, and the program is excellent for her, so the first thing I did was reserve her place and pay the tuition so she can attend next year.
On one hand, I'm happy; on the other, I'm worried the situation might not improve. Anyway, I'll see what I do later. I apologize for rambling; it's hard to understand what I'm trying to say. There are so many things going on, so many responsibilities. It's not easy, and I'm doing the best I can. I've noticed that opportunities seem to appear on one hand, but solutions seem to close on the other, and it's very frustrating. But right now, my urgent concern is food. I try to be more online on weekends, streaming on Picarto and Discord. I haven't had much luck with commissions, and at the moment, I'm practically out of food in the fridge.
I accept any style of commission, I'm still running my promotion of two hours of streaming for $35.
