Hi ncl, busting,

Thank you so much for checking on me.

I have been feeling sort of paralysed lately.

I am working to get the financial sitch sorted out but it is so very complicated.

And things keep going wrong. The old car that H left for us to drive broke down last week. Luckily the kids are on holidays and so I don't need to drive them to school.

I can't cover the latest mortgage instalment and neither can H.
I have $30 left on my credit card and two weeks before my next pay cheque. Luckily I have been stocking the pantry and freezer with 'bargains' in the last few months in preparation for this time.

I'm just sort of living day-to-day at the moment.
H has advised that I should be hearing from his lawyer soon, so I am waiting to see what this will involve and then will go to my lawyer to respond (not that I'll be able to pay a lawyer!).

I don't want to sound like I'm in victim mode, because I am ok. I'm just sort of very much in my head at the moment as I try to work out the best way of moving forward in this very complicated financial situation.

I have to do the best I can to keep the house and the kids in school.
I know everyone says go straight to a lawyer and make H pay, but in my sitch this just won't work.

I understand that many here will think that I am hopeless and that may be true, but I am fighting to keep our heads above water in the best way I can at the moment.

H has come around to being nice again and appears open to helping where he can. Right now that is the only option I have to save the house.

I am still coming to the boards but realise that posting on my sitch seems a bit useless when people think I can't see the obvious solution to my financial woes.
