[hoping]

Hi. I am married to an addict with 3 kids, aged 19,17,and 10. I am hoping for advice. Over a year ago, I decided enough was enough and enrolled in school. I had been a psych major over 20 years ago. I loved it! I made straight A's in everything and enrolled in nursing school in the RN program. However, I did great until A&P and then I flunked big, big time. I am out of the program. It is a 15 month RN program. The school has offered for me to attend the LPN program. I hope I would pass that. My question if regarding LPN employment, opportunities, salary, and difficulty becoming an RN afterward. I am 43. Meanwhile, I have dealt with my husbands addictions and we are broke! He is on probation after getting arrested with pot. All these years and he was caught with pot. That is the least of things he could have been caught with. Our lives have gone so downhill and we are in such debt. I am thinking that the 15 month LPN would at least give me a job, but I had hoped for a job that could provide me an income to care for the kids and life in case the worse happens. I need to be able and live. We used to have such a fantastic life. My husbands parents are well off and threatened to take the kids if I left him. That is what they did to his daughter, my 17 year old step daughter. It is amazing what money can do. However, after everything I don't think it could happen. 5 rehabs since the beginning of our marraige and now an arrest. I only found out about it because it had been published in a little local paper and he told me because he was afraid someone else would. Lord knows the whole story. If anyone at all can give me advice, I would be so grateful. Thanks everyone.
