I find myself wondering alot lately. We've been good people....we give when it's needed to others and we just we take in what we can. Over the last year, I got out of the service, I couldn't hold a civilian job to save my life.....I applied for VA benefits knowing that alot of it is service connected...
Here it is 10 months later and the VA has gotten no where with my claim.
DH tries to find work but can't. ((He goes to a job fair on Friday--so prayers and vibes that he gets a job offer there, it's just one company that's hiring like mad).
My non-parents begged us to move to NC with the lure of a good job market and this that and the other thing, DH gets a good job, but it's temp-hire.....he gets injured on the job (sliced open his hand requiring 9 stitches) and loses that job (so we were back at square one).
We needed help with the rent, I ask and am denied....and then the non parents come and take the car they were letting us make payments on and proceed to write a scathing email to us and forward it to everyone on their contact list about how awful 'We' are.
To make matters worse, they put in a call to social services with a false report to shake me up. (((But before that we were making plans to leave NC forever))).
We have to move into my ILs house because we have no where else to go. My MIL can be incoragable.....very moody (worse than me) and won't let us discipline the children in any way. Even undermining everything I say (for example, I tell my daughter I've made Mac and Cheese for lunch, she refuses it and so right before I can ask her what she would like...since I'm cook apparently, my MIL mentions the fruit---so I bite my tongue and give her fruit all the while listening to MIL tell me how nutritious a 'fruit lunch' can be).
I'm at a breaking point....seriously....I can't take much more, I'm trying to cope with everything that's gone on and I don't know how much more I can take.
We are seriously hurting financially. I have can't function well in a working condition because I have such a hard time interacting with adult people....and my DH keeps applying for jobs but with no degree these days (he graduated HS) you can't find anything anymore.
I am just venting I suppose....but it seems like everytime we seem to take a step forward....something or someone pushes us two steps backwards.
