I’m trying to stay positive. Really. I am. But right now, it is very dark and hard to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
My dad was fired (for the 2nd time) Wednesday. He was originally fired in 2010. Appealed, got his job back, and then they appealed the rehiring. The decision was made to fire him again. Today, a newspaper article was written about him and the appeal. (He worked for the state of Nebraska). It had the details of the suit and even how much money he made there! It just sucks.
Today he went to see his lawyer. He advised him not to pursue it any further. So that means we are done. He still needs a job. And my parents were on his insurance, and my mom has some pretty expensive medicine from having her heart attack that will cost a lot more now that they will have to change insurance! There are still bills that need to be paid and worrying about your parent’s jobs just shouldn’t be something that you have to stress about. I just want to worry about whether or not I should register for the Chicago Marathon! (I want to, but should I? Its so expensive and I feel like I would be wasting my money when I could give that to my parents.)
I feel like my family has been crapped on for a few years now. It started in November of 2010 and hasn’t really ended. I’m trying to having faith. To trust that things will be okay. But it is so hard.
How can you have hope when you feel like all hope is gone?
