My life is a mess.

I am seperated from my husband who physically and emotionally abused me the last couple of years. I cannot afford the attorney to finalize the divorce. I am working hard for very little money, not enough to live on and requires me to have my ex help me…a thumb over my head. My house is falling apart. My two junker cars are both broken down in the driveway. I cannot afford my property taxes. My soon to be ex’es alcoholism took everything away from my two son’s and I. The debt is out of control. I have no family left. Both my parents have passed away. I have no support system..no family to turn to. I feel like I am drowning in quicksand…fast. In the last 16 months my mom passed away, my husband abused me, he went to jail, the computer I rely on for my job is on it’s last leg, my cars keep breaking down,…..I guess I just needed to vent. Trying to find the strength to keep on, I need to break the cycle so that my two sons have a chance at life.

It’s really amazing, but when I read your post, I still read a great amount of hope! I’m so proud of you. When in your position so many do become hopeless. So, you impress me. That being said, what are your options of getting into the Aid system. Where I live if you have the minor children with you over 50% of the time, they qualify for aid (welfare). I understand that some people don’t ever want to do that, but the truth of the matter is YOU’VE worked hard and paid into this system, now in your time of need its OK to use it; that is why it is there! Also, where I’m from… the Salvation Army will pay the gas and electric bill for one month, every 6 months. St. Vincet dePaul, is a Catholic organization that gives food, and other things. You can buy cars from St. Vicent dePaul and computers etc…and of course the fee for such things is much less. Can you consolodate your debt? and HEY… if the courts say you get alimony and child support, DON’T look at is as being under his thumb (BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT)… look at it as PAY BACK for everything HE PUT YOU THROUGH!!! Catholic Charities is a good place to start… or if you have your own denomination that you belong to, perhaps they have something similar. If you are not religious… so what, swallow some pride so you can succeed, and go to Catholic Charities.

All that being said, I want let you know about a book I’ve written. It’s called, “Can Someone Please Tell Me Why My Life Sucks”. I wrote it after I went through a very rough time like you are now. My family started calling me Job, and saying if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. But I got through it… and the other side was so much better than I had thought. I’ve shared how I did it in this book… perhaps it can help you.

Stop focusing on the bad things. Do not put a single second of thought into them. Instead focus on where you want to be. Don’t worry about how you’re going to get there, just imagine everyday where you want to be.
