Sharon, I am so sorry life has been so rough. Don't dwell on the bad things that have happened in the past, don't dwell on the bad things that "might" happen in the future, dwell on the good things that have happened and then pray that things may be that way again.

I have depression issues and today was a terrible day. My husband has a good job and things have been turning around for us. For christmas my husband bought all new furniture for the living room and several new pieces for the bedroom as well as buying me my first diamond ring and a psp. We have been married for four years and have had really rough times. Times when everyone was staying in the bedroom with a little space heater as all of us, dogs included huddled under blankets all day because we had no heat. There was times when we bought food for the dogs and we ate ramen noodles. But now we have gotten back on top. My uncle called today and verbally attacked me calling me a dirty w**** and telling me I would always be poor white trash. All because the family is supporting my couzin. Her husband divorced her for cheating on him and took custody of their son. She spends her check on alcohol and drugs and leaves the family to pay the bills. And they tell me I should be ashamed for flashing my money and buying nice fancy things. I was stunned that they would say that to me. I have never thrown it in her face and in fact hid the psp and diamond from her. She got violent with me yesterday because I refused to give her twenty dollars from my christmas funds so she could get a twelve pack of beer and cigarettes. Am I truly a bad person for buying sweaters and coats for my chihuahuas instead of helping her buy cigarettes? Sorry for such a sob story. I just needed to talk to someone.
