Hubby says he feels like something is still perking,
& I've had annoying ear ringing for days, sooo....
But It's no wonder you still have a headache with all the stress you must be under!
I found your post in the other thread.
So sorry to read about what you are going through!
Maybe everyone here can do some brainstorming to come up with a solution!
I wish I was working, I'd send you some money for rent!!!
My sister's husband died a few years ago,
& we talked about how women should form 'sisterhoods',
& live together to manage economically,
& not have to struggle alone after a life changing event.
Kind of like a commune, though I hate that word!
Maybe have a huge old house with group areas & private ones.
Or a big, old farmhouse, with lots of land to have a garden.
Single women with young kids would be able to work,
knowing their kids were safe with lots of live-in babysitters!
The ones who couldn't work could babysit,
help to prepare the meals, fold laundry...
Kind of like extended families used to be,
when more than one generation lived together!
A totally symbiotic relationship,
with everyone helping each other.
I picture the camaraderie & companionship everyone would have!
Older women wouldn't have to be put in a home,
because they couldn't stay alone anymore,
& their children lived too far away to watch out for them.
Maybe it wouldn't work because of personality differences,
or maybe it could, if people wanted it badly enough!
And you were able to pick your own housemates!
Is there some kind of crisis help near where you live?
All the empty, foreclosed homes that there are,
it would be ideal to have people live in them as caretakers!
At least that way they would be kept up & not vandalized!
But that's too logical to ever be done!
Sending prayers your way for a practical solution quickly!
U2U me anytime!
