I still have no job. I may have to go work in a gas station if needbe. I know its dangerous but living with the A for 7 years has been dangerous what with his driving (erratically and dangerously) and tantrums and more for all that time. The gas station is one place 100's of people are not applying.
I've been going on interviews so far nothing. I have another one today. I am then back to the minimum wage stuff which I can't subsist on for long.
He fully expects me to go to the countryside with him. He acts like it is a given. I want to stay here somehow. It may mean being homeless but I think that's better than dealing with the crises he generates. I imagine being homeless would be temporary but now I have the room I'd like to keep it if I can. I'll learn in a few days if I'll get unemployment that would help but its at such a low rate I can't manage on it.
Please keep praying for me. I want to stand tall. I've left the A before but always went back. This time I haven't. This time I'm determined. This time I want a better life away from his craziness.
You have the will, maresie, and you will find the way. I will pray that the little "bread crumbs" lead you directly down the path to success and a great new life.

just a suggestion; there should be a "workforce" office and the unemployement offices can help you find a job that will help you meet your financial responsibilites. bothhave helped me in the past. also a kellygirl (temp job) type job placement office could possibly help to find something for you. though most begin as temp jobs....the wages are above average... also most companies that use placements approach their temps to offer them fulltime work. your in my prayers to find a job that will offer the right kind of money so you can make it "on your own." i loved the efficiency i had in the mid 80s while doing clerical accounting jobs with a temp service! companies pay really well for warehouse stockin ' and such...and another plus may be nightshift positions. keep your chin up and stay diligent! you can do it!
