Q5. It was 3 a.m. and my children (ages 5 and 2) were barefoot and trying to steal snacks out of the vending machine while I was asleep in our hotel room. DCFS took my children, and I saw that as a new lease on life because to be honest with you, one of my kids was violent and nonverbal so he was just creep up on me and hit me for no reason. And I really didnāt trust my son. And then my other child was just bad you know. I feel bad that I donāt have my kids in my custody right now, but thereās no way Iām gonna meet all the criteria they put out for me to bring myself up to some kind of standard to raise the kids so I moved to Pensacola, Florida with a man I met on Facebook. And I get here and I swear heās trying to put me on the street. You know he keeps introducing me to other men and leaving me with them and heās not really taking care of me properly. He promised all kinds of perks when we were talking online, but Iām here now and heās not stepping up and I want him to do the things he promised. He promised me a car, he promised that I didnāt have to work, he promised that I would have anything I want. I have none of those things and he doesnāt even have a car. I made that big move here and Iām trying to stick things out, but I just want tips from anybody who knows about long-distance relationshipsāhow do I make him do what he promised me? He promised me a good life. I aināt getting it. Help.
