Hi @Hockeygirlklt 

Thank you for sharing your story, which was so brave.

My 20 year old son lives with his father about 2 1/2 hours from me.  We do text, and occasionally see each other, but he only just tolerates me.  I don't blame him, I suffered from extreme anxiety and depression while he was growing up, and when he was 3 I spent several months in hospital.  I was not the greatest mother and I have a lot of shame surrounding it.  I just hope as he gets older he'll be forgiving and come to a better understanding of what I went through as he was growing up.

I'm glad you have a supportive partner, that's so important.  Like you, I'm seeking additional support to my husband - I don't have any friends presently.

Also like you, I am looking for work.  I resigned from my job last week, so I'm back to the job boards.  I'm looking for part-time work, I don't think I could manage to work full-time.  Good luck to you with your search.  It must be difficult when you have an additional disability such as your hearing loss.  Do you sign?  What were you doing when you were working from home?  I'm sure something will come up, keep sending in those applications.

I look forward to reading how you go with your job search, finding supports, your relationship with your family and your health.  Keep posting!
