I am 41 years old and have been struggling lately, especially these last few months. I have tried talking to my husband about how I feel and he just gets mad and tells me to knock it off. He is a truck driver and he is gone all the time so when he is home or has a few minutes to call me, he doesn't want to spend that time listening to my problems. I was sexually abused as a child and had a pretty bad childhood. I never told anyone about the sexual abuse until a few years ago, I told my husband. Well a couple of months ago I found out my little brother has been sexually abusing his son. The same day I found this out, my son, who is now an adult, told me he was sexually abused by my brother several years ago. This has been more than I can bear. I find it hard to do anything anymore, even simple tasks have become extremely difficult. I feel that no one cares and there is just no hope anymore. I don't have insurance and I can't afford to pay to go get help so I'm not sure what to do? I am just so lost and confused.

Hi julz66911, I'm sorry for what you're going through and your nephew. Have you considered going to a mental health clinic that uses a sliding scale for people without insurance?

Hi Blue Bird and thank you. I am not even sure how to find one of those? I know I need help and I would be so happy if I could find a clinic that would see me without insurance.

Lots of clinics will see you without insurance but you may have to set up a payment plan, or they may see you for a reduced fee if you give them proof of income. Some clinics get grant money that pays them to see patients who don't have insurance. Call your local community mental health center (often clinics that provide this kind of help will have "community" in their title) and see what they can offer.
