Wow - I am glad I found this site. I was beginning to think that I was the only one tha had the feeling of being in "Hell". I will try to make this brief. When my 19 year old son decided that he wanted to move home and go to college I was estatic. He had been headed down the wrong path several years ago and decided to move out at 17. I knew that he was smart and eventually would get his head on straight.
But that decision has changed my whole life. My husband "not my son's father", said that he could not move in with us and in fact that he would not be able to ever step foot in the house again. So....... What would any mother do ?
In the last 4 months....
1) I have gotten divorced from a 10 year marraige. That I thought was good.
2) Moved from a home that I had built 3 years ago after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We moved with our clothes and air mattresses. Nothing that that was in my old house could fit in a small apartment.
3) My 19 year old son entered rehab (Which has turned out to be a GREAT thing). But he is now living in a sober living facility and his income is going to pay his rent & food.
4) My 15 year old daughter has an emotional breakdown and was hospitalized.
5) ***** Removed for safety reasons ******
6) Just when I thought things were looking up I was robbed. While my daughter and I were in the apartment.
How much can 1 person take !!!!!!! It has been so emotionally & finacially draining. I have had so many medical bills that I am behind in everything else. If I do not come up with 725.00 for power by Friday we will now be living in the dark.
I do not know what to do. I have never been put in this position before. We are eating Ramen Noodles for dinner and when there is a birthday party at work that is when I get to have some lunch. And I am worried that all this stress will hurt my health. I am so far a survivor of cancer and hope to remain so, but I am still worried.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it or at least keep me in your prayers !!!!!
