I received some bad news,I will be losing half of my income soon!I don't know how I am going to make it.I am going to have to move and I don't know if I am emotionally ready for the stress.I am really worried about keeping up with school during the process of moving.I am so tired it seems like I constantly struggle.I made a decision to end my relationship not knowing how I was going to survive on my current income,now this!I need God to throw me a lifeline here,I feel like I am going to have a meltdown.In the meantime my ex A has no worries while living with another woman,taking no responsibility for his part in this mess makes me furious.
Oh, Mary, I am so sorry to hear this! I have been in similar situations so many times.
For me, what finally worked was reaching out for help. I found that using the support programs available to me (like the food pantry and energy assistance) took away a lot of stress and freed up the little income I had for other things. I have also found that calling different companies (power company, credit cards, other debt collectors) and explaining my situation helped. I guess they would rather reduce my payment amount and know that I am working on paying back the debt than risk keeping the payments so high that I can't consider paying them off. We have here CSA farms nearby as well that offer working shares, so you can get a CSA share for 24 weeks for 4 hours of farm labor a week.
I don't know what recipe or combination will work for you and your situation, but there is hope. And, hey, the best part might be that your ex A won't be able to derail whatever plan you come up with, right?

have faith Beautiful Mary...honestly I believe something amazing is around the corner. I'm not too awesome at the strength part of the program yet but I do know from repeated experience that HP always has a plan that surpasses all our human expectations. You are a wonderful mum, and your shares are always so honest about where you're at in your journey....could it be possible that your hp has heard you in respect to your landlord and running into your ex problems?? My only practical
esh a
now would be,put yourself out there! Cheering for you, aqua.
Thank you so much,I have been thinking about my situation and I do believe my hp is nudging me on to better things!I just have to let go of those reigns and take a deep breath!
