I just wanted to point out be careful when using craigslist for anything.There are quite a few not so honest people posting there. Don't use your e-mail or put a phone # there is an anonymous box you can check so you can weed out suspicious e-mails.Take care and be careful craigslist is not moderated.

blah blah blah

Have the 2 non working kids find jobs, McDonald's is always hiring so is wal-mart. The longer you enable the 2 non working kids, not to find work the more they stay dependent on you.If you continue to allow this then you are making a bad choice. If the 2 non-working kids are old enough to work then thats what they should be doing.

I am so sick of the God remarks, God is not going to put food or your table, make you well or any of those things if there even is a God as far a getting real help this is not the place for that . If you are lucky to have family and friends go to them first. Good luck

I am in need of a reliable vehicle. I have contacted all sorts of places with no luck. I am physically challenged, and have 2 children 1 with Aspergers syndrome, the other was born with a rare birth defect. I somehow got early onset of severe osteoporosis which has resulted in 7 vertebrae fractures that are now slipping over each other. I am unable to get the surgery's I need to reconstruct my back my bones are to soft to hold hardware. I can't get a loan my medical issues have depleted all of my savings,  which wasn't that much to begin with.medical issues have caused bad credit In the mean time life goes on . I have no family either except for my kids. I am not looking for something new but my 1993 honda is 17 years old and falling apart. If anyone knows anything about getting some kind of help with this I would appreciate it very much. Running on empty- why do things always have to be so hard. 

Hi,

    I am a single parent physically challenged with a special needs 5 year old. I am seeking information on how to get a reliable vehicle donated to our family. Our only income in social security and between the both of us we have several medical  appointments weekly. If you can help in any way we would appreciate this very much. We are looking for a small suv type vehicle the low cars are to hard to get in and out of. We live in NH. Thanks running on empty. 

Hi,

I went through a similiar situation, and i feel your pain. I won't go into my story much but my husband of 9 years left the day he brought me to the hospital for a 1-day surgery on my foot.The operation was aborted because something went very wrong  and I almost died. As soon as my husband was told of my situation that I was on life support and in a coma in the ICU he drove 90 miles to a court house never mentioned I was in the ICU but instead stated I kicked my son , and threw sticks at him for punishment. This was to be my 8th foot surgery and kicking or even anyone near my feet was not ok, I had a pet grooming and boarding business and we my son and I trrew the sticks to the dogs to see which ones would bring them back and which didn't my son loved this game. i never abused my son in anyway ever. It's beyond devastating to go through something like what you have and your boys have . I know it's hard and as sick as I was after being released I pushed myself so my ex husband could not and would not make me disappear from my son. You for now have to be strong for your sons and do whatever it takes to keep up your strength . Surround yourself with good positive people weather they are family or friends.The past has already been done and all you can do is go forward.Do positive things with your sons as much as possible, be honest with them if they ask questions. If you don't know something just say you don't know.Learn from each other kids can be really good teachers.Tell and show them you love them and will never leave them. In time it won't hurt so much. Something like this is very tramatic and both you and your boys will be scared.If you are not making much money apply for food stamps and any services you can get fuel assistance, you can even apply for section 8 housing assistance they will help you with your mortgage payment if you qualify.There are also programs like the salvation army that can help with Christmas. Mostlly if you need help ask for it. Don't stay angry it takes up to much energy and it's not healthy for you or the kids. Give yourself and your boys some time to heal, look to the future with hope no matter how hard it is  right now. I did some counseling but found that the only people that really understand are the ones that have been there.Focus on what you can do, be with good friends even when you don't want to be they keep your mind off your troubles for a bit. Don't dwell on the past no one deserves to be treated like trash but some of us are. I don't try to understand things that are not meant to be understood.I would go to the court for total custody and not allow the mother to see the kids unless it's in a safe place with supervision she is obviously unstable, and you want to make sure your kids are safe esp now where they are so vunderable. Make sure you keep updated  picture ID's of the boys usually the school does this when they do the school pictures. Keep birth certificates, and social security cards handy if she has rights to see the kids. Good Luck you will all make it. Have fun. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving
