Not as serious as all the above but watching my husband lose his dignity and mind to Alzheimers for almost 7 yrs was horrible.. And when I divorced my first husband , I packed up my kids and moved ( with only a couple of thousand $$ and an 8 yr old car) from Ohio to Arizona, had no job or place to live until I got there.. Rented a house, enrolled the kids in school and then had to talk someone into giving me a job because with only a high school education I was "overqualified to pull charts" in a dr. office.. Duh, how much education does that take, just need to know how to spell...
We are all survivors for whatever reason and thus we are still here...
