My husband of almost 23 years and I have lived separately from each other for the past 2 yrs. I really have a lot of issues with having trust in him. And, he continues to fill the role of being a trust buster. He isn't so controlling anymore, nor is he any longer physically abusive either. I stay married to him for various reasons. I know it makes me look like a moron ......LOL!!!! but he has a few things that I cannot get for myself. Such as money!!!!! (alimony wouldn't be of enough help to me and I'm disabled and can't work.

I was just wondering what kids of "trust busters" others have and how they cope with it?

Can you collect Disability? My brother has for years, even gets paid prescriptions and other stuff. I think you'd need to check with your county, and/or state.
Just a thought

I already am on permanent disability. After 2 yrs medicare will kick in. I don't get much from SSdisability. In the years whenI could have been a working mother....my kids had a huge amount of needs...especialy my daughter with her being so mentally impaired. What I did for 6 & 1/2 yrs was to deliver a local newspaper to 400 customers 7 days @wk...356 days@yr. I was "self-employed...so no money went into SS. After that I was a church secretary for 6 & 1/2 yrs. I worked part time and was able to be home when my kids needed me. The job offered a lot of flexibility so it worked well. The newspaper delivery...when I look back on it...I honestly don't know how I did it...crazy...I guess.....but I was able to se my kids off to school..get my route done...then be home when they arrived home. There are things I wish I had done differently....but then I guess we all have our regrets.
Looking for a brighter future now

Hey, I think it is great that you put your children first
I applaud you sweetngentle, when I was a teacher aide I saw so many kids that's parents especially their moms just did not have their priorities in right order (my personal opinion), I did this part time on a volunteer basis as a barter for my son's tuition, so I too could be home when he was home, and that I don't regret, I do regret not going to college right after I had graduated high school, instead I wanted to work ($) not realizing without the "degree" I'd be making the same time salary the rest of my life, at 30 I finally got pregnant, and my husband and I were to happy parents of a son , I'm 46 now, gee, time flys. . .
Take care,
"darkeyes"
