Now I've done it... again

My H doesn't seem to be worried about money at all. His district pays for full med, dental, and vision. We just have co-pays. With the legal S, I can request to be left on as part of spousal support.

He just seems to be living day by day, acting on whims. I don't think he even thinks much about the future, but I don't know. I have no idea what he's thinking, and I have to stop trying to figure it out.

Apply for medi-cal. If you don't qualify, there is also the Healthy Families program for the kids, which is significantly reduced. Also, most utilities (and phone companies) have special rates for lower income families. I'm lucky because my job provides housing with phone, internet, and utilities. Now I have WIC, so that helps with food. Our necessities are met. It's the other bills and my credit that I worry about right now.

Don't judge yourself for needing assistance. You have 2 small children with a single income. It is for people in your situation that these programs were put into place. Do what ever you can to make this time more comfortable for you and your kids. Every little bit helps.
