I had a big disappointment a month ago when my son and I were going to try to leave town. And we both had anxiety attacks and couldn't go through with it. And part of the problem was that our electric was going to be disconnected and so it was either pay on the electric or relocate. I got scared because I knew if we needed to come back here we wouldn't be able to if the electric got turned off. Then after paying the electric we couldn't try the move. And this month if we try it then we will probably end up homeless. I can hardly stand this small city I live in (my son feels the same way). But within the past couple months I ran into some old friends; it was really nice seeing them. Plus living here I get to see my older son. But I'm so depressed here that it's hard for me to function. I don't go out that much because there's nothing exciting - there's no new adventuring to take. If any of you read any of my other discussions regarding my family well I've not gotten in touch with them for close on 6 months now and neither have I heard from them.

I hope that you both will be able to relocate. It seems that moving would perhaps be a nice change for you. To have a new start somewhere else. I have read your previous discussions and I know that your family isn't nice to you. So if you do move I hope that you will like the new area.

I have had a bit of a disappointment in that I was hoping that I would be able to get onto a course when I finished my degree, but it turned out that I wasn't going to be able to get the grades which was an absolute shame as it was the thing that I had pinned my hopes on for a long time since I has started doing my degree. But I think that even though certain things can be disappointing at the time, you have to remember that everything happens for a reason, and that everything will work out for the best in the end. You just have to work with life and don't worry if things don't always seem to be going your way.

Disappointments in the past year.
1. My dad was diagnosed with cancer and given 4 to 6 weeks to live.
2. The day after we got my dad's diagnosis, my boss called me in to tell me that after 6 years with the company I was being demoted from full time to part time, and would have a pay cut as well.
3. My father passed away, not even lasting the minimum 4 weeks they had given us.
4. I've been looking for another job for 4 months now and haven't even gotten an interview.
Those are just the BIG disappointments. That's not counting the millions of small disappointments I have every day.

I do not know the details of your situation, but I would encourage you to actively take part in the pursuit of happiness. A wise man once said, "If you want something you have never had, you have to do something you have never done." There are jobs all over the country if you are willing to relocate. With prayer and some planning I'm sure you can find a more enjoyable living situation. I wish you all the best.
