Down and Out

I am really struggling with my financial situation and this divorce. N has moved back down south, said he was moving to a 2 bedroom 2 bath on 5 acres of land. Took all the furniture that was in the apt and that is okay but I sit here with no job, no real focus and I just don't know where to start. Going on 52 so it's not like anyone was rushing to hire me when I was looking. Drew unemployment, but it is about to end and I want to just go on disability due to my fibromyalgia and depression but don't even know how to make THAT happen.
I am sooooo angry that it seems he went back down there where his EX-wife and children (ages 18 and 20..but he "HAD TO BE NEAR HIS CHILDREN" are and they all get to think it was ME that was the problem but it wasn't ME. I feel so "taken".. 4 years ago, I was a happy person and now my life just SUCKS...every time I start a project towards working from home I get sidetracked. I tried therapy once but the shrink kept defending that F---r and I couldn't deal with it. Now there is no insurance to pay for going to therapy. I just felt like venting my frustration, my son is about to graduate from HS and it seems like he is disliking me more and more these days. My dad is in his late 80's and he is getting weaker and weaker as the days go by and I feel trapped. Guess I am not alone and it could be worse...how i don't know...but I am sure it could be. I am trying to keep the NC going, to maintain my sanity. I want to call him and scream though...I won't...but I sure want to tell him how much I hate him for ruining a good woman.

I'm sorry too, I hope you're able to find some aid by reaching out to some of those resources. These jerks leave such destruction in their paths. The N doesn't care...still have a mortage? Oh well, we'll think of 'some' way to pay it! Have medical bills and therapists to pay because of THEM? We'll just have to find a way to make it work. They don't care, the low-life scumbags. It's up to us to pull ourselves up, 'somehow' after they've done THEIR thing and moved on. I take it one day at a time, do the best I can possibly do, be thankful for the things I DO have, like a NORMAL brain~...and go from there. I am hoping you're able to get some much-deserved help, and good for you to maintain NC as much as possible. The douchebag isn't worth the breath it would take to even start screaming.

do you have a Doctor's DIAGNOSIS of fibromyalgia? if you do then log on to Social Security and start the disability process: http://www.ssa.gov/applyfordisability/ you will probably be denied initially but there are LOADS of lawfirms that handle Social Security cases and you pay ZERO upfront. But you must have a doctor's diagnosis. start ASAP. ~~~~~~~~~ Moving Forward: Coaching for Victims Pathologicals Feelings buried alive never die. - Alice Miller

Yes, Barbara Thanks

I do have a doctor's diagnosis, it took several years but finally...it was determined it is Fibromyalgia and also diagnosed with Depression. Will I still be turned down and then have to go through a long drawn out court case? How do I make ends meet until then I wonder? OMGosh!! I want off this ride sooo bad, but I'm holding on despite the outlook.

they deny everyone twice... it takes about 18 months to get benefits so the sooner you file the better. Do not worry about being denied - the files go through a computer that just spits out that nonsense. You can also apply for SSI before hand if you want - a law firm dealing with SSDI should be able to help you - that's why it's VITAL you apply for benefits IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!! before your unemployment ends!!!!!!! You may want to contact these people FIRST THING TOMORROW!!!! http://www.binderandbinder.com/SSD-SSI-and-Your-Pain/Fibromyalgia.shtml discuss everything with them and get your file going IMMEDIATELY! ~~~~~~~~~ Moving Forward: Coaching for Victims Pathologicals Feelings buried alive never die. - Alice Miller
