Storm's right about it happening more often than you realise, HL. I know platitudes seem to come from people who "don't seem to know anything about it" but sometimes they come from people with experience.
My recommendations, as tough as they might be to achieve, would be: make those gratitude lists every day (if possible) take every opportunity to 'walk in the sun' make your own opportunities to turn life around
For me, Burbank was *it*. I mean, really... *IT*. I haven't looked back.
No one in my family - that I'm aware - has had these kind of problems. Even after my brother's house burned down and he got laid off for 18 mos, and then my SIL quit one job for another that didn't work out, they still have had not many problems (and their new house is so much bigger).
We have no one to turn to family wise - distanced ourselves from Ron's family, and my real dad blew the $600,000 award from his hospital lawsuit. (okay, $130,000 of it went back to Medicare and the attorney too alot, too.)
But HL, those are *their* lives, and that's *their* money. None of that is *yours*, hon. Concentrate on what is yours, and what you can make yours. It's your life. Nobody elses.
Oh no, you're right. But people have asked if we could turn to family. (And my father owes me back child support.... not to mention all the things I've done for him since he came back into my life- though I did them out of love before he got his settlement. We have an odd relationship.)
