Ok, it's still under construction but it's a goal at least. I'm selling stuff to pay utility bills that are due right now. This seemed most critical because I have to have power and the computer and phone in order to better look for a job. Assuming I can sell enough to catch up on utility bills next week, then I can breathe a little easier and get thru three important meetings/dr appointment next week and mull over what area to "bombard" with applications for work. I can also call and try to get more info about some of the suggestions listed in my previous thread. This will get me thru the next few weeks before difficult child is released from detention and I have to move out. That will also give me a little time to figure out if I can take the dogs or need to find them another home, even if that other home is only temporary and maybe I can get the dogs back. If I can get applications out next week and the following week, I can tell them I could start work in less than a month, I think. Maybe I can sell more then to pay for moving. I am dead set against staying in this jurisdiction- it would be too depressing for me after losing everything and still being stuck with difficult child in the same courts system. I just don't think I could take it mentally. If I could have stayed in my career, I could have stayed and probably even kept my home, maybe. But with all of it, I want to leave and never come back and it really might be the best thing for difficult child, too.
I have a call into PO now to find out what parole requirements difficult child will have when he's released. If there's anything in there that throws a wrench in "my plan", I need to know ASAP. That's another thing I find frustrating about this whole court issue- they want everything revolved around them but they don't really lead and tell you up front what you are dealing with. IOW, they tell me to go ahead and make my plans, get a job, etc., THEN tell me difficult child will have to do A, B, C and I have to do D. Well, I need to know that stuff before I commit to other things, not after. Ok, moving on.....
