Divorce has left me broke/broken...

I have been divorced for several years now. I was "stuck" with all of the student loans ( even though I had scholarships for MY schooling ), all of the credit card and vehicle debt.  Half of my current income goes to child support ( which I gladly pay for my children ). I am a teacher and make @ $27,000 she is a surgical nurse and makes three times that. I take home less than $1000 a month. Needless to say, I cannot afford a home, car, expenses and all the debt for which I've been saddled.

I realize my plight is not as drastic as others.  Asking for help is humiliating and humbling but I'm at my wits end. I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment while my X lives in a very large 6 bedroom home on the "good" side of town.

Maybe this comes accross bitter or vengeful...and I suppose there is some of that in there...but more than anything I want to provide for my children. When I can't purchase Christmas or birthday presents it's time to put my pride aside.

I am not looking for a free pass. I've been paying for quite some time, but I just cannot get ahead of all of this.

In advance...thank you so much!
