In reply to lost my T again, posted by pegasus on September 11, 2013, at 12:02:14
Holy crap you guys! I was just in the middle of a natural disaster for the last week, and am just now getting back to babble. I'm so sorry to ignore your thoughtful responses!
The night after I posted, I meant to check in and respond, but it started raining so hard I thought we were all going to die! It had already been raining for a couple of days, but then it was like someone started emptying a god-sized bucket of water over us, for about 10 hours. Then more regular rain for a few days. With intense flooding and general wet destruction. I've never seen anything like it!
Anyway, we are fine now, after a lot of muddy and wet hard work. And I really appreciate you all understanding my situation. My DH was a hero during the flood. He's always been excellent in an emergency. I know he *could* get a better job, etc., but somehow even when we talk about it and he agrees, and it seems like there is a plan in place, he just doesn't. This has been going on long enough now, that I'm starting to realize that somehow he *can't*. I can't do it for him (which I totally would if I could), so here we are stuck in this stupid place.
My T offered all kinds of payment plans, but it all comes down to eventually paying him, which I just can't see how I can do. Until I see some way to eventually have more money, I just can't go. I did submit a long-shot claim to my insurance for past therapy, hoping they'll cover some of it. I've done it before with no luck, but I had my T use a different diagnosis this time, so maybe. If that comes in, I'm spending whatever I get on therapy!
During the flood I texted my T to make sure he was ok, and he texted back, which was really reassuring. He's there whenever I can figure out a way. But honestly, we can't pay our grocery and mortgage right now without going into the red. I mentioned to my DH about selling the house and moving somewhere cheaper. I think we need to, if this is where we are financially. But he hates that idea. I'm hoping he hates it enough to find the courage to look for another job. At least we still have a house to sell.
Thanks for your understanding and sympathy. I'm at my wits end with this.
