[QUOTE="Jena, post: 218363, member: 4514"] Hi, I just jumped on quick before running out to the interview today and saw your post. It is so hard, you are soo right. You have every reason to feel as though you are now "crashing", taking care of our children, and balancing our finances is almost an impossible job. Yet, it is doable on some level. I was a single parent for years, I've been divorced seen difficult child was a baby. Making ends meet was so hard and challenging, my work hours kept reducing and reducing until finally the sh*t hit the fan, I lost our home, I had cleared up most of difficult child's medical bills, most. There are still some coming after me, yet I made some very bad financial choices and boom. One thing I have learned now, living where we do and boy is it small. WE are totally cramped is your home is totally all about the ppl in it, about you. A safe place to go at the end of the day and be warm, when it's cold out. The holes, fill them will spackle, and sand them down. Dont' worry about it, I know exactly what your saying right now, believe me more than you know. As far as the job thing is concerned, have you tried ssi to get some money in, what about doing what i'm doing now and going to the mental health office wherever that is there and applying. Their the only ones, besides a handful of decent employers that will understand your struggles with difficult child. When I started the home based business I sat back and said ok what am I good at? You are so insightful, regardless where you derived that from, and so helpful and i'm sure that one of those facilities would be lucky to have you. Ok i'm going to write more later, I'm running late. I have something that will hopefully make you laugh, I couldn't afford to go out and buy pants to fit me, i've gained soem weight not working. So, I ironed and threw on old work pants, I bent over to zip up my boot and the button popped, than the next noise i heard was the hem that ripped and got stuck under my boot. I said oh carp!!! it gets better than i said ok safety pins, I reached for a safety pin and suddenly I no longer feel the umm upper body support :) my bra snapped!!! LOL I'm held together by safety pins today, if I make a wrong move it's going to get totally ugly!! LOL Also, it's ok to feel the way you are feeling right now, it's totally normal and to be expected, it doesnt' mean you also have a diagnosis, it just means your a great mom who has worked so hard and your feeling the pressure of it all.
