Huge Blow Out, Worn Out and Overwhelmed....

I have been working non stop for the last 24 hours. I have gotten enough money together for the electric bill. The tension between Greg and I is big. He is so frustrated at the situation. I don’t know how he expects it to be different. He is bringing in from his draw, $800 every 2 weeks. He has to drive all around for his job. Gas is killing us. His cell phone is expensive for his job and he also has to have wireless connection for his laptop for his job. He is spending $1000. of the money he is bringing in on his work expenses. Leaving us with $600 for utilities, food, gas, and medication. Medication alone is close to $200. a month.

It is incredibly stressful. He gets angry and it comes off at me. I am so frustrated. We have had a ongoing issue that is a continuous fight. I want to get a job in the evening to help us. He is not supportive of it. He thinks it will bring chaos to our life. HELLO… Not having enough money to keep lights on and to feed our kids is more chaos than any job could be.

I feel so frustrated and stuck. I need him to be on board. I cant afford to hire someone to watch the kids.

We just had a bad blow out. It just leaves me feeling sad and empty inside. I feel so worn out and so emotionally overwhelmed. I am really scared. Brandan told me this morning he is scared and that he just tries to hide it. It breaks my heart. I have let him down and have brought so much stress and chaos into his innocent life. He should only be concerned about being a teenager not all this other stuff.
