so you know, the AD's effects are usually not felt in full, for weeks. However, when my dad died, I went on them for a few months. I didn't know how much I needed them until I took them, I swear I noticed a difference in less than a week but after 3 weeks, for the first time in a year, I found myself tapping the steering wheel to the radio. THAT was a huge change that I noticed then and there. Like 'wow, I AM better."
Your financial situation concerns me in that you say you are actually not eating meat b/c it costs too much? How is your d's diet?
How is your financial future looking, long term? Do you have any savings or a retirement plan? Do you plan on retiring there?
I ask for two reasons. One is the crass reason of wondering how your w feels about financial security or the lack thereof.
The other reason is concern for YOU. Is living there helping you or hurting you?
Yes, it sounds very cheap to live there. But it also sounds really low paying and like there's not enough full time work. You tell me. Are you able to be gainfully employed there, able to save, able to own a home or save for one elsewhere?
Why not move to the other city your w refers to?
Even if not with her? (I am not sure that's a bad idea.)
If the reason you are staying around where you are, actually costs you financial security, then why do it?
Sounds as if your d will be better off in the other city and if your w joins you there, she won't be around OM. Is it possible that's what she meant? NOT To suggest you mind read but it just occurred to me.
If she doesn't join you in the other city but you have d with you, you'll be giving her something to miss AND still be helping you and your d.
Maybe I misunderstood the advantages of the other city but they sounded good. Just food for thought.
