I feel every word you wrote. I am so sorry you've been having such an awful time *hugstight*

As for part time work? I've been looking for that for three years. The only part time work I have found anywhere is either retail, dodgy work-from-home offers or mailbox delivery. Retail - never again. Dodgy work-from-home offers are dodgy at best, illegal at worst. And mailbox deliveries? Just - hell no. Been there, done that, got the cat scratch scars to prove it.

I haven't seen any other part time options except in Nursing - and that clearly is not an option for either of us (I certainly can't devote the next four years of my life and $40K to a Nursing degree, and I'm sure you can't either. I'm having trouble justifying 6 months at TAFE and spending $ 700-1000 on fees and books/consumables there with little chance at employment at the end).

I was only discussing this with the DH over the weekend, and also tearing up at the futility of jobsearch, earning an income, and other personal growth and education options. It's all too hard. I too am at my wits' end, and not getting any better. The DH doesn't understand, and cannot help. My mother doesn't understand and wouldn't help even if she could. I have nowhere else to turn...

I so feel your anguish. I really do.
