What the hell is wrong with me?

and i didnt want to upset her either.

just the sitution we was talking about was hard. having 3 kids isnt easy to feed. all they do is eat. haha

i hope i said everything in the right and not in the wrong way @Sahara

You did fine, @Bubbles3. Just speak your truth respectfully, just as you see it. That is all you need to do. Other people will see you are genuine. If they don't - then that is their problem! You can always walk away.

But speak out first- always tell people how you feel.

I'm sorry you are struggling with money. it is so hard.

Thanks @Bubbles3

It was hard for me to ask if it was me - I am glad I did - I understand your situation much better now -

I read bits of what you wrote yesterday but I was taking time out from the computer - I know you are having a really hard time and I just want to help - but I hope to do better now

You are very welcome @Bubbles3. I hope you are feeling a lot better. Money worries are very stressful. Will you get a chance to do something nice for yourself this evening?

It's really satisfying when we get the washing done. I am always chasing washing, @Bubbles3.

I thought maybe you could take a long shower or sit down with a nice book or listen to some music- something that makes you feel calm.

I am also thinking..... you may not be interested.... but a friend of mine used to work for Uniting Care. They are run by the Uniting Church. (I am not religious, by the way!! ) There is also a group called Anglicare and others groups like this, too.

If you make an appointment with them, they can give you some food vouches to use at the supermarket. They help a lot of people. They have good intentions. They wont ask you to go to their church or anything like that. Don't be concerned about that.

I'm not sure of your circumstances, as I haven't read any of your other posts. I don't know if you are aware of these type of groups which try to help people? Or if you have already tried something like this? Please don't take my comments the wrong way. There is nothing wrong with accepting help when you are in need.
