Hi everyone,
I havent visited for a while because my life fell apart. The nursing home I was working for wasnt working out, My husband had back surgery two years ago and has been on oxycodone. The last three months have been a nightmare, his drug use out of control. YES this pain medication creates addicts. It is like living with a manic depressive, when they are high, they are out of control happy and manic and full of 'crazy' energy. I gave him an ultimatum, get help or get out, by Christmas. Wouldnt you know it, Christmas day evening he lost it and beat me up. He has been in jail ever since. I had given my notice at the LTC facility a while back due to circumstances there and due to the chaos at home, (I was afraid to leave my boys alone with him). I feel like an idiot, I should have done something sooner, but in 11 years of marriage he has never touched me. Never underestimate the power of drugs, huh? (Although as a nurse, I would never touch someone who was in the state he was in, but when you are home, and in your relationship, you dont always think like a nurse!)
OKAY, so besides all the sordid details, I need a job and I need it NOW. I am going to lose my home, and I swear, there isnt anything out there! Maybe because I am so desperate, but if anybody has any advice at all about finding a job, please please send it my way. I already have my children and myself in counseling regarding the domestic violence issue, since they were there. The whole emotional aspect is devastating, but it has been long enough that my bruises and psyche are starting to heal. I just need a job right now!!!!!!
Anybody?
