Hi,

I've been living with Bi polar disorder for a long time but didn't know.  Mom had it, thought she was just nuts.  Dad was a drunk most of the time but I loved him soo much.   Mom and I fought all the time.  Had to take care of them both when they got sick.  Basically raised myself. 

Now first hubby cheated on me, had a baby to someone else, divorced after 24 yrs of abuse.  This husband is better.  Can put up with me and knows my moods.  goes to dr with me.  He and I had a bad year.  Lost our home,

he lost his job and our insurance, also ex wife took more money from him from 30 years ago that we paid in form of tuition for kids, support etc.  She and they changed their minds,.  I knew it would happen.  He though with his heart instead of his mind. 

Now we're renting, Hate living in Pa in the winter.  He is going to try to look for work in Florida.  We lived there one year and I loved it.  He had to come back for kids, he missed them.  Wish we knew that then what we know now.

He is an attorney,  hoping to work for a firm doing estate planning or something he doesn't have to be certified to practice there. You have to take the bar exam again in Florida.  Hopefully he will find something there.  He worked in Atlanta for a firm doing estate planning too. and also 10 years in Phila.  He has also been public defender and juvi worker.  That's the job he just lost,  Political, but they covered their bases.l

No wonder I'm depressed!   I collect disability, for fibromyalgia and bi-polar, had to wait 3 years and my husband is an attorney!  He gets emp benefits, thank God and a reirement he put in from them to tide us over.  Told him not to look for work till after Jan 1.  legal is slow right now.
