Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Donna, I'm sorry to hear how difficult it is for you at this time. I can empathise with your financial and health problems. One of my children had to file bankruptsy so they wouldn't lose the house. She can't work because of her health and also 3 of the 4 children have health issues. They had to repay a certain amount but now they are free of that. They've learned to live without a credi card and are managing, by a thread. Income tax return is a welcome " catchup " money each year. I* also experienced the health and financial burdens and I know that emotionally it just wrenches you into pieces.. Your health problems will not go away even when it's better and you need to accept (easy to say) that this is the way the future will be and you and your husband can plan the future accordingly. It is very hard to do emotionally and physically and the guilt always wants to bring you down. It is a catch 22. The stress you are going through will only add to your pain so be very careful with yourself. You are young yet and somehow you still have more resiliance. But when you get older the resiliance diminishes and you end up just deteriorating from the stress you are experiencing now. I speak from experience. And you realize that " things " just aren't as important as your health. Good luck to you, and gentle hugs... Stella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well if you got a divorce you would qualify. It is his income that disqualifies you so you might think about it. You probably would be better off financially divorced so his income would not count and living together. > > Subject: not doing well... > To: CFAlliance > Date: Friday, August 8, 2008, 8:54 AM > boy, I am in the middle of quite a flare.
