In response to your voiced concern about making ends meet, I'd written something like: you make good decisions and will be fine!

While you are very bright and do make great decisions, this does not earn you a better income. We can all be very bright, can make excellent decisions and resources can still fall short!

I do know. I had lived on disability pay only, while living alone, for many years.
it's brutal! I'd often felt hopeless.

My heart goes out to anyone in this boat.

I will,again, be dealing with similar issues as the divorce moves forward and I will lose medical coverage, drug coverage, dental coverage, etc. It doesn't seem quite right that I'd be the one losing benefits. yet, that's the way it's set up!!!

Much Love to You, ~Christina!
