The last thing that we should do is embrace our self-pity and encourage others to pity themselves, as well.<br /><br />Rather, we should GROW UP and ask what it is we are to learn from these experiences.

I'm unemployed (not by choice) right now, and so is my husband. We're struggling beyond belief, trying to survive on unemployment. And we're pissed... each time we try to renegotiate with our mortgage company to save our home, or figure out which bill to not pay this month, or how we're going to make it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305997189254473548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26063103.post-66243206652417528452009-07-01T19:12:20.866-07:002009-07-01T19:12:20.866-07:00u took the words right out of my mouthu took the words right out of my mouthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26063103.post-18952245716615149442009-07-01T06:38:15.320-07:002009-07-01T06:38:15.320-07:00Is there any way if you can find out if you would ...Is there any way if you can find out if you would qualify for some additional assistance?

You are so brave~I didn't go it alone until I was in my 30's and the kids' Dad left and I was scared and tired~and it SUCKED ASS~but guess what. It got a little better every day and I went from 4 jobs to 3 and then to 2 (still stuck at 2, tho). My kids are teenagers and amazing and growing up so well and I am responsible for that.

My husband is burnt out at work, so he refuses to pick up overtime to help give us a cushion, even though he works four ten hour days and I work five eight hour days. I work at least 5-15 hours of overtime a week, so I get to see my baby less and less. We're doing everything right, but I feel like we're drowning too.
