[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard.

Was home for 15years. I gothink a job in retail, as the world has passed me by while I was raising our kids. Rented a townhouse and sub let the basement for extra money. In the meantime, exDH was supposed to pay support, but lost his job and sank into a deep depression and never recovered.  He could no longer pay and was living with family. He basically abandoned us. I sued him over and over in court, but you can't get blood from a rock. Rather than throw him in jail, which could have easily happened, but would have done nothing to improve my situation, I just trudged forward on $12/hr and 3 teens. My kids all got jobs, because that was the only way they could get clothes or basically anything, including school supplies. We banned together. It was awful.

Luckily I ended up remarried to someone who is well off because I maintained my looks. It's shameful, but that's what happened and once again I'm dependent. Nobody will admit to it, but there are many women out there just like me. It's not pretty.  If I could tell my 23yr old self something, I'd tell her to have kept working and NEVER depend on someone else. I'd tell her to do it for her kids.[/quote]

AMEN sister.  Ive got advanced degrees and am in the same situation.  What in the hell was I thinking.[/quote]
