Avoiding the inevitable

I have been hiding out at Mom and Dad's a lot lately simply because I don't want to deal. I don't want to deal with the fact that we are losing our place in 3 weeks. I don't want to deal with watching Ben not caring that we literally blown through our savings and now I cannot go back to school this fall. I cannot deal with the fact that I'm feeling resentful and bitter, and want nothing to do with life for awhile. I go to Mom and Dad's and I get sympathy, and I feel like a failure. I hate asking for help.

I have a couple of phone calls to make tomorrow as a last attempt for a possible job in NC, then it's packing up our lives in boxes and living with the parents for a couple months.

I don't know that I'd think of it as "hiding out". I use to think of things like that as a vacation for my brain. It was time to get away from my troubles and try to clear my head. The fact that parents usually give great advice was always helpful too. I know it is stressful but I think you'll make it just fine. Just be sure that the resentment does not lead to problems between you and Ben. I assure you that you are not a failure. Its life and it hardly ever goes how we plan.

you know how I hate to ask for help. This type of help from my parents, especially during Mom's chemo treatment, just kills me!

As far as Ben and myself, we are actually doing ok. Things have been stressful, but we still manage to not to go to bed angry.

I know things will work out...but when is it my turn to have good news? When can I actually finish my degree, and not have to stop every year or two due to some financial/health crisis? I'm just ready for a change.
