I feel really guilty that I've been absolutely no support or help here. Instead, I have taken your knowledge and support and here I am again, whining away.

I have to report August 23. I have my child taken care of. I'm trying to refi the house but doesn't look like that will happen in time thanks to the incompetence of a broker but with the help of friends should be able to keep the house until I get out and then refi. I have no place to put two cats and I keep trying to find a way to tell my child that she's going to lose her pet and I can't do it.

So, I am sitting in this limbo, wondering where I will go, wondering if there will be any funds for even the necessities when I'm in, and wondering what will happen re job, etc. when I get out. Too many hours in the day, too much sorrow, too much pain. If my child didn't need me, I think I would just kill myself and save everyone a lot of grief.

I'm sorry, I don't usually whine or cry, but I need to get this out somewhere and none of my friends can handle it. Thanks for listening.

Hang in there, PM me I am in your area, I might be able to help.....

I take exception to your statement that you have been no help here. I saw your post to a fellow member coming from Hawaii and thought you were most gracious and compassionate!!!

I know it's tough, but hang in there...we all (those of us waiting to report, anyway) have these kinds of days, I think. I know I have had mine. I have posted this quote elsewhere, but it has really helped me when I get down and think that things seem somewhat hopeless. I hope it will help you. It is paraphrased from a daily devotional by Max Lucado -- I think he would understand my making it more personal.

"I can be controlled by my past and make excuses, or I can rise above my past and make a difference. What choice will I make today?"

I report on Monday, and will actually leave home on Sunday, so I'm sorry I won't be here to help you through this, but there are LOTS of others who will! Have faith!

I didnt' realize you were going so soon froglady!!! Good luck to you!
