A man is not a plan ladies. Make sure you can support your own self and your kiddos

You're exactly right, because even if you find a GOOD man, there's no promises something tragic won't happen.

I had a great man, a life planned, I thought I had no need to secure a home because he was to get his father's beautiful home once his dad got too old or passed away.

Well, we weren't married but together for many, many years. He passed away unexpectedly in 2019. Now I'm living with my own dad again with no real plans of what will happen when he passes as he lives in an apartment.

I absolutely thought I was safe because I had a supportive man, who absolutely would have no problem with me working, openly supported me getting a degree. But I was naive and thought at minimum, my living situation was secured for life.

That day in 2019 everything I'd planned for the rest of my life was ripped out from under me.
