I'm sorry things are tough Eliasson.
I was thinking along the lines of Hawkeye's suggestions. Your teen's upcoming college adventure is an amazing thing and it would probably be uplifting for you to throw a lot of effort into making sure that dream happens to him.
I see you are in Corinth, Tx.... I grew up very near there and graduated a week before my parents went through a surprise divorce. My mother acted fast that summer and we jumped through every hoop needed to get additional funding forthe Univ. Texas/Austin where i had been accepted. Despite all the challenges from that time I got my degree 5 years later, a feat that my parents are still really proud of.
BTW... my one sorry and major stressor when I headed off to Austin was that my dad was drinking himself to oblivion daily, lost his job, lost his life etc.... His drinking ruined many of my young hopes and dreams. I hope you can maintain your sobriety at all cost. The rest will work itself out.
My best.
Jonathan
