    Have you talked to your therapist about the darker thoughts?

      I see my therapist once a month. It's all I can afford. I'm honest about my feelings. She has pointed out that the demands of taking care of Andrew are exhausting me. Things with Thomas are difficult. All our money goes for kids' school's and the money I make is the only money I have to spend. It all goes to debt. What's left I give to help kids in college. I have no family or social support. It has all created depression and I can't get ahead of it because the demands don't stop. I feel trapped.

        Would Thomas agree to join you for a session so the three of you can brainstorm ways to take pressure off you? This seems like a situation where changing how the family manages finances could be warranted.

          We did meet. Thomas and I decided to sell the cabin to reduce monthly costs and put money towards my loans. I contacted the real estate agent and she recommends putting the cabin on the market in early April. It may take a year or more to sell. Even though I know that eventually things will get better, getting out of bed today is hard. Sorry for the negativity.

            Also, I never found a ride for my kids. Yesterday they walked 2.2 miles home in pouring rain with iPads in backpacks. My boss's husband is going to start picking them up. Weird.

              No need to apologise. You're taking steps, planning, using available respond, and holding on. That's enough for now. Anyone would feel depressed with all this on their plate.

              Neoprene sleeves may be a good buy for the kids' electronics.

                Why is this weird? I think it is awesome!! I'd do such...if I knew my spouse's employee could use some help I could provide.

                I hate you are feeling so low. I imagine it is tough to get even the bare minimum done...there have been times when getting out of bed was about it for me. Not getting the job is a blow to anyone's ego - especially when you are already feeling like you do not have many options. Please call me - even if it is just to vent. (((Hugs)))
