in response to granddaddys dream... Hello Anyone and Everyone. I am a 37 year old Mother and Wife, I have been married for 15 years to a wonderful man whom works his butt of everyday to help support our family. I have worked my whole life up until 4 months ago when I got ill with an incurable virus. I am now on disability which does not help us. My oldest daughter is wanting to go to college in the next two years, we have no saving and our financial standing will not allow us to help her. At this point in our lives along with many Americans I struggle to keep food on our tables, and bills paid. We have pretty much sold anything that can find a dollar, and had my cars repossessed, lost my home and have had many nights where dinner was a can of green beans because i had to pay my electric instead of getting groceries. I have worked so hard for years only to find out that while I was Ill and on disability my Job let me go. Therefore If I ever do get better I don't even have a job to go back too. Over the years My husband has worked 6 days a week 10 hours plus a day. He is getting tired and it is now starting to take away from our relationship. We are growing apart. I can help being sick. I wish it would go away and I never asked for this.. I got ill from my job helping other ill people, now i am suffering, not just physically. But emotionally, mentally and financially. When does it all get better. Were good people, my girls are great strong beautiful and they never ask for anything, but I still cant give them what they need. I pay rent to a very wealthy woman whom always threatens us with a notice when were late. She owns multiple homes and rents half a dozen, but she chooses to threaten us when we cant pay her.. Therefor, i lose the vehicle which takes me to the doctor, and cant get my kids decent food to eat, but i keep paying the rich woman who spends 80% of her time on 2 week vacations. My husband is becoming bitter and angry. I dont want all that we have already lost to cause me to lose my sole mate as well. I have looked everywhere for financial aid but there is none. We apparently make TOO MUCH money.. Well I guess we will have to be without a roof over our heads before the government will help us.. I have tried to be strong, but it is getting more and more difficult as the days go on. Thanks for the time.. I just needed to vent.
