Oh, and my sister and I sat down to budget and discovered that I will have to bring in $2000 on top of what he will be paying me to survive and maintain my household bills.

I haven't worked outside of the home in almost 7 years. I have been so unwell for the last few years I'm not sure I will even be able to carry a job, especially a full time job. At the same time, I haven't worked enough quarters (I'm only one shy) to get SSDI. I am SO overwhelmed by this situation that I see myself disintegrating on the floor. But, everyone keeps telling me I'm strong and that I will get through this. I guess I have to be strong for my children but how, I don't know.
