OK, my stress level right now is out of control. I really need to move in about a week, or at least get a big jump on it, next week when I get the next child support/alimony next week. I don't have a lot of $$$ saved, but did what I could.
I'm going to see the L this week and see if I can try to get H to cough up some $$$ to help with moving money and first/last month, and all the other stuff. I know of at least 2 times he cleaned out the checking and savings account for probably a few thousands of dollars, so if I had even a little bit of that would really help. But I'm not holding my breath. If I get desperate, I may have to borrow from my big brother and then repay him, which after 23 years of helping my husband out with expenses/school/our kids really pisses me off.
H trying to control me into moving into his town is crazy--no way am I going to be close to affording that. I think I will have guilt if/when I have to move from here and away from the kids' dad, but I know that I have tried everything to stay here and just doesn't look like it's going to happen. Basically, I'm applying all over now and wherever I get a job, is where I plan on going.
