Howdy Fox!

Honey, you're not alone. I just got divorced too and my turd ex husband left me with a whopping .63 cents to my name...then I find out, he never paid the taxes on our house (I paid for our house and land in full years ago)- 8K+ owed to the county now....and my Dodge Durango is being repossessed probably next week also due to his non-payment for the note that he obtained. On top of that, I left a half-way decent career in the oil industry as a network administrator two years ago to stay home as he requested and now due to more layoffs in the Houston area, I cannot find a job. So, career change time.

I tell you all this to give you some hope. If I can do it, so can you (I'm 45). I started looking into CDL driving courses through my local community college as well as company-sponsored programs. I'm opting for the CC route as I would like to have better control over my life and not 'owe' a company for my CDL education (especially, if I don't like said company at some point- hey, it does happen). I will keep you updated because realistically, I may go ahead and take the company-sponsored training since I don't even have two nickels to rub together and some companies will pay you while you train.

Keep your chin up hon. It WILL get better. The fact that you left an abusive man who was a control-freak to boot speaks to your inner strength. Don't you forget that when the depression kicks your ass. You CAN DO THIS!!!

Sending you tons of hugs and prayers from my little corner of the institution here in the Pineywoods of Texas!!
