So many good ideas here, thank you! I never really looked at the bigger house situation as the points some of you have made....I'm sure it must have added stress for him. I know it did me! But he never admited to me...
My children are so precious to me, and seeing them hurt...well, i think that hurts me more then how he hurt ME. As their mom, I some how want to sheild them and protect them. But...what am I protecting them from, their father? it seems ridiculous that he has changed THAT much. but he really has.
I did sign the kids up for reduced lunch at school & got the paperwork back that we were approved for FREE lunch/breakfast!!! That was a HUGE relief! Now I only have to focus on dinner every night, and we've been using the food pantry. I did call the local public aid office and they gave me a list of paperwork etc, to get together to come in. So, I'm working on that.
My lawyer said they are going to call tomorrow with a court date for the emergency/temporary support order. If that could go thru soon, I think it would ease the burden of bills/house payments. But I realize that those things take time to actually go thru the system. I did offically find out he IS working and where,so I told my lawyer all the info today...they said they'll track it down!
I have good days and bad days...and some reallly really bad days. I try to find something everyday that was positive, which can be hard, but I still try. That way when I look back at each day, I try to remember what was good that day, even if it was a rotten day.
Thank you all SO SO SO much for all the advice & words of encouragement. You couldn't imagine how much better I feel when I am on here reading notes from people or just other peoples stories. I don't feel so alone...
