Hi all,
Haven't surfaced much, been on quite a treadmill lately.
Here's a really brief update, just the facts ma'am:
1) D's car died so she moved in. Severe money stress on me but it's been good together. She seems relieved and maybe this will be a healing chapter for us. I am liking her company right now. The financial stress is big. She cooks and organizes stuff and is being good company.
2) Nboss, bully young man, sexist workplace, usual crap at work continues. I want out.
3) Coming down to the wire about whether I can afford to stay in my home. Numbers don't look good. I do have a freelance nibble but overall, I think I'll probably have to let the house go. Probably not for months or a year or more, as we haven't had a hearing, etc. But that looks like the only sensible decision. Nbrother continues to be a jerk but he has little power...the lawyers are talking to each other. I'd still like to "win" the house and then sell it on my own terms, because I will not be involved with him in the process. So the legal battle must still be won.
4) Very involved in Green Sanctuary stuff in my church (my #1 cause) and (separately) chased off a "cult" that wanted to meet there. I was once involved in RC (Co-counseling) and have strong negative feelings. Although I remember recommending the counseling sessions to someone here! I still liked the sessions as free organized emotional support and liked most of the participants very much, but I don't like any authoritarian organization that does not allow questioning of the organization's history or theories. They tried to sneak into our church in a deceptive way, billing it as a "faith development class" when it's near-cult (psychotherapy variety) recruitment, plain and simple.
Mostly, I am trying to be healthy and work and keep things afloat.
love to all and sorries for not posting much.
