wh,
I know how you feel. It's damn hard when the financial situation looks so bleak.

I've been living on a knife-edge financially for 8 months now.

If it's any help at all, things do go downhill, but they also come up again.

I have tried to detach from constant worry about money and how to pay bills - I know, this could be dangerous!

But I've come to realise that worrying about it doesn't change the situation. What will be will be. If H chooses not to pay his share, things will reach crisis point and there will have to be a change. It's change that will come about for him but it won't be a change of my making. He won't respond to my requests that we do something. I can't control him in this way, so I have to let life/lawyers/tax office do it instead.

I really feel for you and what you are going through. But you can get through it.

It's tough; it's hard, but there are worse things that could happen (as 25 says, it's not Africa-hard and, as I tell myself, at least we are all healthy and alive).

Hugs to you,
NLW
