multiple issues - need ur advice

i just need some thougths on how to move towards my goal and what resources to look at.

i am a single mom of a 33 month old dd. her dad is active in her life and pays me a small amount of CS and half daycare. we are still married but separated.

what i would really like to do is move to a nearby city which has a much better school system and an awesome homeschool group and a great family oreinted community which my dd longs for (she is extremely social). i would really like to hs or rather unschool my dd as that is what works for her really well. but if i do put her in school it wont be as bad as the ones here mainly due to the parent involvement.

instead of working i would like to go back to school and get my degree and then teach. but the univ. at the place i want to move to is expensive and so is the cost of living. for right now i feel i might have to work just to pay bills.

my main concern is finance (isnt everybody's?!!). i dont qualify for welfare. i have to file for bankrupcy with the debt i carry from my marriage. yet i think i make just a dollar an hour more than what would be considered as low income.

the only support system i have is friends who will let me live in their house if i become homeless but not in the city i want to live in.

where do i look for answers?

this is my POA. i am planning to go to the univ and talk to a counsellor and find out where i stand once summer break is over. hopefully i can find out financial situation too. i just learnt about co-abode to find maybe housesharing. i can budget fairly well and can live cheap.

sometimes i feel so overwhelmed by everything and i am so scared of being homeless. yet i dont really know what to do. this is the first time i am going to make such a big change happen.

all i know is i want to spend as much time as i can with my dd instead of working at a low paying job adn getting to see her for 3 hours a day.

i know this is a general post and i dont know if u have any answers. but any thougths would be really welcome.
