Thank you. I'll email you soon. It's been a long hard road. There are days I still feel sorry for myself. I just realized that we all have pity parties. It's okay! As long as you don't let it get you down to much. Sometimes I call my friend and just cry to her. I tell her every injustice I feel ( even if it is that I was stuck behind that one person who has 15 items in the 10 or less line) She just lets me go off...then she tells me I'm nuts and we laugh.
We all have a story to tell, mine is a long drawn drama.

Hey, Kate, many of us understand your dilemma. My story is quite different than the cheating husband, but I more than understand being poor. Lisa nailed it, though. Cut back, think about where every penny is spent, work hard. I'm filing bankruptcy-royally stinks. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I'd be here. But I am here and the kids and I will be OK. Self-respect is essential and I can go to sleep every night content with myself. Happiness is important, money is money as long as your basic needs are met. Let us know how you're doing.
