Im a waitress. I’m in a bad place. Im a single mother of a 10 year old kid. I had him at 15 and dropped out of school back when I was 17.
I never continued my studies because I was always so busy trying to take care of my son. His dad disappeared shortly after he was born as he was 21 when I was 15.
Me and my young son barely have enough to get by day to day.
I know I likely wont be able to get a job anywhere else. I do my best at work but im not perfect. Im often exhausted from staying keeping up with my son and that definitely affects my performance.
Recently I had to get my manager after I dropped a drink on a customer and after that was settled he said that I was fired.
I cried and begged for him to reconsider. I’ve been working there since I was 18 and I’ve can’t afford to lose my job. I have no savings and I’d be screwed.
I told him id do anything and offered up myself and gave him a b— job so he wouldn’t fire me. Now I’m that woman.
I’m no better than a prostitute and im disgusted in myself. I keep trying to tell myself I did what I needed to do to put food on the table, but im just so disgusted. Wish I could go back and change things.
