Forgive me as I stumble my way through some of these posts... I never thought I would be writing about such things or being so public about the position that I economic status that my children and I have no found ourselves to be placed in due to our current circumstances. I was an antorney's wife.. with a lifestyle supported by an income which allowed us to dine out when we wanted, vacation at the Four Seasons, shop at Nordstrom, and live very comfortably. Now I am in the position, where I have to choose which bill gets paid based on which one might get turned off. The children where clothes that are given to them from others which were lovingly worn by others. I find myself buying new shoe laces for my daughter's shoes and bleaching her scuffed up tennis shoes in the hope of getting another month use out of them because I can't afford to buy her another pair. Applying for food stamps, medical, low income utility programs have become my new part-time administrative job (due to the amount of paperwork involved).
The reason I bring this up is that I never thought I would be in this position and I always thought I would be in position to help myself. I guess I am in a position to help myself.. I just thought I would be in a position where my health had not failed me and I would able to work a full-time job but that is not my reality nor will it be so I have to accept it and all that comes with it.
