MWG, I hope things go where you need them to. You've had a really difficult row to hoe, so to speak.
I read a bit of wisdom that has stuck with me: when you are at your worst, the best is near. And vice versa. Realizing those things can help us to become wise.

This job market is really bad and I am back at square one up in the middle of the night and also throughout the day filling out job applications, sending resumes, etc.
My daughter will be back a week from Saturday from Boston. She wants to go back next summer and she wants to attend college there.
D18 is just about ready for college. She is getting things organized, has her plane ticket, my mom bought lots of stuff for her dorm room, etc.
S19---his jaw is healing just fine. Thankfully he did not have to have surgery.
H-out of sight/out of mind--nothing from him to any of us. I told S19 that he did not stop drinking. I just do not believe it.

I thought the job was going to start a few weeks ago!!
There is this company near my house who has contracted with an employment agency to hire 100-200 people to call medical offices nationwide to request patient files for large insurance companies. The agency had us go thru orientation and we completed all of the forms and it was a matter of the employer saying, okay, we are ready for so many people per week.
I've been in contact with the agency and they said there is still no start date.
I cannot sit and wait around so in the meantime I am still searching for work.
Yes, the southwest is just horrible right now for jobs. It used to take at the most 1-2 weeks to land a job here but that is a thing of the past.

Forward, if he sits there much longer his arse will grow to the furniture! He will not change, its a waste of life to stand still waiting on someone that will not do anything.
I am not sure if this is good news or a blip on the screen, so to speak.
H talked to S19 and D16 for a total of almost four hours this weekend. He told D16 he has been sober for a few months. She said he sounded so different and normal. That is all she told me. He has not done this in a long, long time.

braveheart, you are entitled to your opinion of how mwg is handling things. But, you are relentless at badgering mwg. What I wonder is what you expect her to be doing? If I understand correctly she has no job, no income, a deadbeat H and father, a car that is mostly broke down, a job market with no jobs, no way to pay the mortgage, etc.....
mwg, I am amazed that there is the ability to send kids off to college, have a computer and internet, keep the attitude to keep looking for a job, not be bitter about the events in your life.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
