CARLA MCDANIELS — February 7, 2007

City and State: Chicago, IllinoisCountry: U.S.ARequest: Self
Details: I need full time employment soon. I have been in between jobs for awhile. My money is getting low. I was offered an opportunity to move to anothercity to live with a girlfriend who has two children. She suffers from panicattacks due to serving in the gulf war. Chemicals from the war has donesomething to her memory and she has to be reminded to do so many things thatadverage person would not forget(paying a bill, doctor’s appointments and otherthings).She has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I cook extremelyhealthy for her and her children. They aren’t conditioned to home cooked meals.My girlfriend can not cook and fast food is what they know. I clean her houseand had her child to help me because he was suspended from school. The kids aredoing poorly in school and rarely do home work. Both are currently kicked outof school. My girlfriend has poor parenting skills and she can not handle theirbehaviors. I have no problems with her children and have former experienceworking with kids with behavioral disorders. I am willing to relocate to helpher as well as have a new start for myself. My issue with her she shuts downand refuses to talk me. She claims I nag her and stress her out. She eatsinappropriate stuff at times. Her mother had a stroke and she has the samehealth conditions. I try to talk to her to prevent the possibility of a stroke.I told she doesn’t love her children when she lacksthe ability to take care of herself. She shut down on me for the smallestthings. Last week I traveled to visit her and when I was ready to depart forhome I missed my train. She didn’t want me to leave. When we got to the trainstation it was on the verge of closing and I explained it to her. She drove offleaving me outside on the coldest day of the year in an unknown place. I wentto the police department and several officers called her cell and home for herto pick me up. She disregarded the calls and I sat at the police station for 11hours awaiting a train.When I am with her she doesn’t need her medication for her panic attacks. Wehave a lot of fun with the kids and laugh a lot. She at times dwells on who sheuse to be prior to the war. I speak only the truth to her. She gives her kidstoo much and they never earn anything. Please, pray for me in regards to mysituation with her and the kids.I have an extremely difficult time finding a full time job in her city as wellas mine. I need a break through soon. I have so much debt and have beencollecting my unemployment check and my funds are almost exhausted. I need ajob. My appartment lease is almost up. I need to get a job in order to stayput. My girlfriend has been mistreated as a child and the children’s fatherbeat her during both pregancies. She is raising the kids alone and struggling.I figured if I got a job in her town I could help her and myself. I do not havefamily in my town and I am not that close to my family. Pray about that too. Italk to my mother and all she talks about is my brother who has Lupus or myother siblings. I dislike this me against world attitude.
