Thanks to all, its nice to see that you all care so much. So much has been going on, not to good. I went to court on Feb. 13, but nothing got resolved, we have to go back on March 20.<p>
To make a long story short, stbx, only wants to give the minimal amount of child support and nothing else, there is just not enough money between my job and childsupport to pay the bills on our home, there is just to much debt. My Att. is fighting for spousal support which I will probably get, but it would not be enough to keep the house, if he wants his kids to stay here he has to give more then than the minimum amount which I don't think he is willing to do. He has a whole new life, He is supporting his girlfriend, and he just rented a nice new apartment, its hard to believe that a man you loved so much and had children with could cause so much pain. I take one day at a time, and leave it in God's hands, I work and take care of my children and try to have faith that God has a plan for me.<p>
I have just been so depressed and have not been on the computer until tonight. There are so many things that need to be worked out between me and him that it is mind boggling to say the least.<p>I have also be sick a lot lately, between getting pumonia and recently a kidney infection its been horrible.<p>I have accpeted the fact that I may have to sell our home and rent an apartment with my children, but I am having a difficult time accepting the fact that he doesn't care what happens to his children. I could go on and on , but basically thats about where I stand right now. When I go back to court on Mar. 20, the judge will decide temp. support until we can work out a settlement.<p>
Thanks Lizzle for asking about me, hope all is well with you.<p> Love SS

Oh Sally,<p>I am glad you wrote. I have been wondering how things were going. <p>I am sorry it has been so hard. I think I will be in the same boat. I don't think I can afford our house either. How sad. I had an appraiser come today.<p>I hope your next course case goes better...my lawyer won't even consider spousal support. He said I make too much as a teacher. Yea...right. <p>Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. Take Care Pat<p>sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well too. Take care of yourself.

Hey Sally,<p>I'm sorry to hear things have been going so badly, but please don't give up hope. Are you doing a Plan A? Are you doing anything positive for yourself? <p>One thing that helped me SO MUCH was working out in my living room every night. I worked off so much steam and I also got a brand new toned body in the bargain! I think working out eliminated my depression and helped me cope. <p>Anyway, please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. Much love, Dana
