I love my husband, but he's a huge **** up mess. I need to quit counting on him to figure this out because he obviously can't. I need to figure out what I'm going to do, formulate a plan, take action, get something accomplished.

We have 1 car, it's old, but runs. We have no home base. I have a college degree in Housing Studies, an expired insurance producer license, and I am on disability currently get about $900/mo, because of repayment and other deductions.

I would like to get a job, a place to live, a better car (2nd car), etc. I don't know where to begin.

Issues: Husband has a record, housing options are now limited, he has destroyed my credit, working on filing bankruptcy because I see no alternative. He also owe a fine of 7,500 now. And has no interest is finding a place to live at this time.

To me housing is a priority, to him (since he travels) it's not. But he's holding me back. Sure I tried working with him, I suck, and I don't like his job, he's good I'm not.

Problem #2: I have trouble securing a descent job. I get temp jobs, thus affecting my disability negatively, but no one will hire me, not sure why. I'm fat, that is what my mom says is a problem, I'm over 40, probably another problem, sketching work history (stay home mom for many years), and disabled status (I know that's held against me regardless of the laws).

I really don't know what to do. With deposits and other fees, I have no clue how to afford a place on 900 a month. He's not helping me, he's really hurting me. He's drug me down, very far, and I should run, but I really don't want to. HELP.

priority one: housing. contact medicaid offica for assistance. state may have subdivised housing allowance available. May also have list of places that called felon friendly or contact a rehab facility they may have some info or emails. Could look into private renters as well some more understanding with back ground checks if upfront with them.

priority 2: jobs update resume and practice interviewing. think of answers of your at home experience makes you an asset. self motivated, organized, team leader. think about updating computer skills. classes are available for return to work force at charity organization and unemployment. look at edx. free online education with option to get a certificate. im looking into youtube on microsoft programs (excel. passpoint etc). The new one is access so working on that too. Make sure you looking at jobs that fit your disabilities. invest in nice suit for interveiws.

good luck

Priority 3. Move out and live by your self, in a cheaper place. Renew the insurance license. You do got good job skills already going for you. You will do a better job hunt when you got him off your back.
