10/28 Addicts Transformed

Quote From: loser111

Hi im mary i'm a 36 year old, married mother of three kids.I live in PA and am a bad situation.I need to know if anyone can give me insite to help me see this all through.My husband has currently lost kis job for probibly the 5th time in the past 6 years or so.Tired of struggling I decided to go out and work.To ease my own mind.I got a job waitressing.It's so hard but I go everyday knowing I need to for my family. 

  

My husbnad has no motivation.We are livivng in a home that the furnace is busted and we are all so cold.There is no money but what i'm brining in.Today my sons guidence consuler called and said my son has been begging kids for money and she even saw him on the lunch room floor looking for change. 

  

I was so embarrassed to find out he is having a hard time.It's his 5th new school in his life because we keep moving around and we always end up the same way.With him losing his job and me feeling hopeless.On top of it, he lies all the time.The last time he lost his job I found out by accident that we were living off our tax return which I was told was 29 bucks when in reality it was 5000. 

  

He just dressed up everyday and went to the library.Emailing me from there like he was at work.I feel like i'm going nuts here.There are days I dont even want to get out of bed.He is so angry all the time the kids cant even breathe and he is jumping down their throat.I tell him they are kids you scare them.We can talk to them now.They are older and stuff.I feel mostly like i'm talking to myself.I have no friends anymore no one to talk to.It's hard to keep hanging on sometimes. 

  

I feel so overwhelmed things are pllling on top of me and I cant get any air you know?If anyone has any advice I'd sure love some I go in tonight at 11 pm and i'll be checking to see if anyone at all can relate..

Hi Mary, 

I know it has got to be tough......have you tried social services to see if there are any programs that might help your family?  I am not talking about "going on welfare" but there are alot of programs to help you, even temporarily,  from free school lunches to help with your heat bill. I don't know about your state, but maybe you could make some calls and just find out- it is worth a try! 

Good luck to you!

First of all ........STOP CALLING YOURSELF A LOSER!!  Until you get rid of that identity, you cannot hope to resolve these problems in a healthy manner.  I've worked through my father's suicide, narcotic drug addiction and depression -- I am NOT a loser, unless I tell myself I am.  You gave yourself that title, and you can remove it!  See yourself as a winner....and you will become one.  I promise.

Contact your county or even your electricity company. A lot of utilities companies have warm home funds, phone bill companies have discounted or waived bills, counties ususally can help pay for your rent if you cant pay to help out for a month or so. Contact your local county services or state!!! Trust me, my brother went through a rough time, had them help out with his rent for the month AND paid a 600 electricity bill same day he went down there so his power wouldnt get shut off. He is a single person, you are a mother with KIDS, im sure there are resources to help around. Also, if you are a memeber of a church, or if you know of a local church, they will help with a lot of things as well. Dont give up, things will get better. and know have to believe YOU DESERVE BETTER!!!
