I don’t even know why I’m posting this. I guess in the hopes that someone else understands. And someone can tell me things will get better.
Life just feels so tough lately. I’m almost 40 and I’m living in a very old home that’s pretty much falling down around my my ears and my family has completely outgrown but despite earning decent money, selling and buying a new house feels beyond reach. My husband is a self employed plumber and there is so little work lately.
I’m genuinely scared for my children and their futures. Both have learning difficulties. My youngest is at a language development centre and is due back to mainstream school next year for year 4. His communication is spot on but he’s used to being in classes of 12 max and I’m worried how he will cope. I’m scared neither will ever be able to buy a home. Of course they can already live with us, no matter where I am, they’ll have a home.
I work in the city and the amount of homeless is beyond belief. It breaks my heart. I just can’t believe our state has gotten to this point. I know compared to many others I have no right to feel this way but it’s scary. I’m scared.
