[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 110889"] I am so sorry you are going through this. When I lost my job of 16 years, I took (thankful I could work any shift) a night shift job in a stupid warehouse where 99% did not speak any english. Then I accepted a job after 18 months where I had to commute 100 miles a day. Second shift. Left when difficult child was in school and returned when they were a sleep. Worked 6 and 7 days a week. The year difficult child needed me most, his first year of middle school. I looked everywhere. I applied every place over and over and over. Had my resume posted everywhere. Then out of the blue this company, great company where everybody wants to work calls me. It took a very long time, but it happens. I know how frustrating it is when nobody calls. Family...LOL...I have a brother who 18 years ago told me (came up in legal conversation at the time) he had 2.5 million dollars. He has since gained more stores, more franchises. No longer has kids in college...I am in deep doo doo with the IRS at this time due to back financial issues. Heck 3K sounds like a million to me, my brother gives 5 times that to the church. Would he help me???nope. Would he buy my shares of our family owned cottage (that was given to all the kids when my father was sick)..His response when I asked him to buy my shares was "I don't want my shares why would I want yours". Well, to those of us who can't afford a vacation, a retreat to a cottage on the water, with a beach is heaven. I ended up filing bankrupcy. Due to a statement in the by-laws of our cottage corporation, they could not take the cottage in bancrupcy. I had not paid my share of the "dues" or taxes in two years. I lost my shares in the cottage. A place I grew up. My brothers took them away from me when I filed bankrupcy. This is a place my parents raised me. A place they GAVE to the family. In my hard time, NOBODY, not a one in 6 would give me even so much as a phone call. It is hard. You see others who's families come together and help when it is needed. My family just pretends you never existed. I will say a prayer for you. One day at a time. You will be ok. [/QUOTE]
