I started my new job as a Head Start classroom aide (temporary, part-time) on Jan. 3 to help us as a family get by and to somehow save enough money for a divorce retainer.
Today my husband announced (in a druken stupor) than he would no longer pay for the internet, satellite TV (his mother's day gift to me last May which I asked him for), my meds, cigarettes or other personal items. How in the heck am I ever going to be able to change the circumstances for my children and me, meaning to get us away from this man! I almost called the cops to report a suspected drunk driver when I discovered him at his buddy's house drinking the morning away while I dropped the kids at my mom's so I could go solo to the PO, bank, Walmart, etc. For the past two weeks he has gone to AA with this friend on Thurs. night only to get together with him the next morning and get hammered. Tonight he was asleep on the couch at 6 p.m. and this has happened so many times. Three young kids left for me to take care of 95% of the time. How can I keep going?
I don't really expect any responses, I just really, really needed to vent.
Thanks for listening if you've read this far.
