I've been at this for ~18 months--and it has worn on me. It is a CONSTANT worry, and financial crisis limits one's life in so many ways--can't go anywhere, no vacations, no entertainment, can't even go grab a cup of coffee with someone (well, it's not like anyone's been open to that anyway). all the what-if's. this is the part I've coped with least well.

and yeah, he SHOULD be the one to help. because he's not really helping me, he's helping D13. but he truly cannot see past himself, still, even though he has all he wants and needs. and that's the only reason I turned to him. he made it sound like this is something I've been doing routinely, and it's been over a year since I've asked him for help--and that was about the time he decided he couldn't provide any CS because he was entitled to furnish his new apt. with whatever he wanted.
