Hi. You sound like such a good daughter and living mother. It must have been a hard day for you to see your mother like that.

You do have a lot going on and I'm sorry that you are feeling stressed out and depressed.

Having a husband that makes all of the money is not all it's cracked up to be because when I was married it gave him all the power. He wanted to see receipts for everything. I often felt trapped, no money, babies, no job..and really stuck.

I'm glad that you found this forum. I think you are very brave to share your story.

It's good to have a GED. It is challenging going back to school to get it though. I have a cousin who is smart but couldn't pass the math part. But, I have a good friend who got her CDL and makes $18 an hour driving a dump truck. She's the only female in the whole company n says it's real easy. But I bet there r other jobs out there, like cashier jobs that u can apply to. Even starting part time may b good.

But I hope you're feeling better than the other day. And I hope that you have a nice Easter with your family.

I was going to say, it's good to have a GED but there are still jobs that you can get without one.
