Calling all prayers...calling all prayers...

I need your prayers right now. STBXAH just called and said he lost his job yesterday. So, that means my salary will be supporting me and the kids until he gets a new job. I feel like the world is crashing in on me/us. It's almost laughable at this point all the things going on.

I'll post more later. Just wanted to ask for some prayers.

Oh I'm so sorry i4getsm, I really am.

My prayers and well wishes are with you and your family. I hope you find the strength to trudge on as hard as it may be.

If the worst comes to the worst and I mean the worst the first psychic lady I ever saw told me that no one goes to prison for missing bills, there are always people there to help. I'm worrying about this myself.

But please remember - you have a family that you love - and in turn they love you back. most deeply. With that knowledge - you are a millionairre x x

You will get through this x x

You must be really scared right now - I wish there was a magic wand to make it all go away - I would sprinkle you with magic pixie dust if it were possible.
I'm not one to pray, but I do believe in the power of positive thinking and the extraordinary things that can happen with love. I am sending you all of the positive energies I have - stay strong and know folks here "on the boards" are always here to talk.

Holy cow, i4! What a week for you!

Isn't it crazy how everything just falls apart at once?
I'm thinking of you and sending some very positive vibes your way.
Take care.

Prayers,
-TC

Thanks everyone! I'm trying to stay strong. I could not sleep last night though, so I know I'm stressed. I am seriously wanting to laugh right now. It's almost ridiculous how much is going on. I'm turning it over to God because I clearly do not have a handle on the situation. Taking one step at a time trying to get my house in order. I'm freaked out about the bills so I'm making phone calls today to see what I can do. STBXAH says that he may have a job lined up and he's going to temp agencies today. We'll see. As always actions speak louder than words. S~

My thoughts are with you as you deal with the difficulties you are facing. If you want to laugh.....LAUGH. Laughing and crying......it's the same release. Even though you are facing a crisis, you seem to have yourself together AMAZINGLY well. Lean on those who love you and all of us here at SR. Sometimes wonderous things happen when you least expect it.

gentle hugs

Prayers being sent to you in your time of need. My AH just quit his very high paying job, I can't afford stuff now so I am understanding what you are going through except I don't have children to worry about and you do. God will help and provide, trust in God and your support network and I pray you get through this and to the other side of things. the best to you and your family.

So, that means my salary will be supporting me and the kids until he gets a new job.
Get to Income Support (or Welfare, whatever it's called in your state) and apply for temporary assistance. Apply for Food Stamps and any child assistance they can give, also apply for LiHEAP (helps with utility bills). It will all go back on him and he will have to play 'catch up' when and if he finds work again. This is what ADFC and food stamps and LIHEAP was originally set up for....................Temporary situations. Of course, now it covers more folks than ever.

There is no shame in asking for assistance from the state when a father is unable, or unwilling to help. Those children and you their mom and caretaker need to have a roof over your heads, hot and cold running water, and food in the refrigerator that can be cooked on a gas or electric stove.

Please take care of you and the kids, keep posting here, and know that there are prayers headed your way from NM.

Love and hugs,

Thanks all! I have remained relatively calm today. I didn't "do" anything but I didn't freak out either. I think I needed a mental health day to numb my brain up a bit. Shocked is probably the best word to describe my current emotion. Tomorrow I'll start putting things in order. Thank you again for all of the prayers.
