That certainly explains a lot.

I wanted to offer some support, but since I had no idea what precipitating issue was, I didn't see what I could do.

Sorry to hear that the teaching did not go as well as planned. I had been hoping to sign up once this semester was over.

It is good to hear that you have a long term project to work on now, with some other opportunities there. I know it can be frustrating to have to wait on the pay, but still great that you have a job.

Wow, life really kicked you in the balls. :( In spite of the monumental suck, you're still reaching for the good stuff, so that's more than a positive direction. The keystone here is, IMO, that you've not let this experience push you into repeated episodes of the same.

If you'll pardon the cliche, this is sincere: You'll make it through. Keep working toward that goal with the project and beyond.

Mistakes are made in life. I don't think less of you for it. I have a lot of respect for people that grit through the hard stuff, as a matter of fact.

Yikes...that is a pretty big burden. But thank goodness that no one was hurt! The outcome could have been far, far worse.
I hope things go better for you from here on out, especially in the finances area.

*HUGS* You're a great person who made a mistake that is costing a huge chunk of your life to repair. You'll get through this.
