Hope
Be in prayer for my family. We are going through a really really rough time right now. Today was already a really rough day for me, totally bombed an open notebook test, or I'm pretty sure I did, bumped my head I can't tell you how many times, have an exam tomorrow, and because I bombed the other one I of course am panicking about this one... Bomb finally dropped when I got home tonight. My parents have been going through a constant battle of selling Curves or not. Curves at this moment is $40,000 in the hole. We have never owned a business before, and would have been fine if it weren't for certain credit cards and late payments that we thought we payed. The ladies love it, I love it. They really are good businesses to have, but how we're we supposed to know that tons of competition would come into town. My mother was convinced that the smart machines* state of the art equipment that no other fitness anything has* would save Curves, and us. I didn't know this, none of the family did, but my mother decided to spend the down payment of about $1000 for the smart equipment out of the family funds without the father's approval. I can understand why she did it though. Through talks of money of any kind, my father does the same thing, yells at mom and tells her it's her fault about everything and goes in his room and doesn't say a word to her for days. Because of this, for the past few years anything having to do with money, be it a bounced check or worse, mom hides it from dad. I don't want to act like I'm choosing sides, my dad has to be hurting too. Dad is not one to talk to it about anyone. Mom has the daughters. Dad has no one, becase he's always chosen that. I don't know what to do. Mom has already set up her bed in my room. I'm scared to death, I don't know what's gonna happen. God help us. I'm hoping that comfort will come in the morning.
