[QUOTE="Nature, post: 689698, member: 19011"] Hi, I'm sorry you are going through this and I'm glad you came here from support. You'll find you in a safe place amongst friends. You have raised two wonderful children on your own. I too have worked 4 part time jobs when my ex left our family home and when I look back in retrospect of my life then, I realize I was so sleep deprived that my choices weren't often what I would have made if I had been thinking more clearly. I too did it out of financial necessity for my children so I can relate to that part of your life. However, the cost was I slowly backed away from friends and things that gave me simple pleasure. You need to get that part of your life back...to feel joy not through your children but to find "yourself again". I live in Canada so not familiar with all the options you have in the US but I was nodding in agreement with the others when they suggested filing for bankruptcy. Once your financial woes are taken care of and your not working 24/7 you will see and be able to think more clearly about your options. Should you have to move in with your son temporarily I also agree you should have a set time limit. There is always light after dark days and I hope you continue to visit us here for support as we're here for you. Hugs from me [/QUOTE]
