[unwanted]

well I am having a real s**** day. yesterday after i got home from work and was getting ready for the kids i got a call from my boss. he told me that the company just went under and i no longer had a job. now i am jobless. i don't know what to do. i am so depressed. it seems to me that everything is happen all at once. i lose my grandfather, my dad is dying too, i have a son that is a real pain in the ***** most of the time, i lose my job and im so depressed. what is the point in going on? i just want to give up. throw my hands in the air and say i quit.

If it makes you feel better, I have a four year college degree, 3 years to get a certificate to teach, a 34,000.00 school loan, a husband who won't sign the divorce papers but insists on living with another woman, two teenagers who are wonderful but ashamed that I am such a looser because I work at a minumum wage job that they do as well. I can barely pay my bills and with my new reputation as a looser, everyone doubts my ability so I am getting no where. I just get doubted day after day. Today I wanted to send a note with my son proving I paid their lunch money this month showing the canceled check from the bank with the schools endorsement on the back and my son was embarrassed. I will have to go down to prove it myself. I can do the right thing but no one trusts me anymore, so what is the use of doing it anyway. Just know we all feel like s***. By the way my extended family and I can't deal with each other as well so we are no longer talking. So sometimes I think that strangers are my only freind and they can be rude some days too.

Determined you are NOT a loser. (((Hugs)))

Unwanted sorry you had such a horrible day, ironically due to an ailing father - a situation I"m also in and which is upsetting me tremendously. I know how you feel, but my day was no where near as bad as yours. I hope you find another job soon. Your father of course is irreplacable. I hope you have many cherished memories of him, and that his last days will be peaceful and painless. {{{Unwanted}}}
There is always a reason to go on even if we can't see it at times.

Well, first, go file for unemployment...you've earned it! When you've got that out of the way, maybe you can deal with all these other crises in your life.

Good thoughts comin' your way!
