A bad day

Yesterday I had a really bad day. Brad and I had been awaiting a phone call from a job he had applied at. Brad had two interviews, and things were looking really promising. Then around 5 Brads cell phone rang, it was a number I didn't recognize so I figured it was the job. Brad answered the phone, and I knew it was the the guy about the job because Brads face lit up, but it didn't last but a few seconds. The guy called just to let Brad know he didn't get the position. I was devastated to say the least. If Brad had gotten that job our lives would have gotten better. Right now we are struggling, and I mean really struggling. Brad clears on average maybe $600 a month -that is after 400 of it is taken for child support.


Not to long after the bad news about the job, the phone rings again. This time it was Brads mom. She called to tell us that Brads ex had done a credit report, and was threatening to call the police because of past credit card bills, repossed cars etc. Now I knew there was nothing she could do because it was so many years ago, and it was her responsibility the credit cards and etc were on her credit as well as my husbands. Instead she threw all the blame onto him who pays her 400 a month. Why in the hell didn't she take care of any of those past due bills? The old credit cards were mainly from her, not Brad. It was just another load of BS, and more stress for me!


Now that things have calmed down, I still am feeling depressed, and pretty darn hopeless. I just pray to god that things get better for our family. Times are so tough right now. I pray Brad gets a better paying job, and for once things get better and not worse.
