- My boyfriend was working with his friend who was also his boss in charge of the money. Unfortunately this thing who will call a gentleman is very addicted to heroin. He owes my boyfriend about $1,000 for carpentry work, and, being the person I am who doesn't like asking for help, very very stubborn woman who just insist on doing everything herself and solving all their problems, I am minimizing what he really Ozarks. He still owes us that but unfortunately he went and put it in a needle in his arm instead. I know he's got problems but I just consider am evil because he left a family struggling right before winter. We can't eat, can't pay our electric bill, we can't pay our water. There are just so many emergencies right now and I just don't know what to do. I just want to be able to feed my family and keep them happy and cozy and keep house. I just try and try and try and behind every corner is just another mountain to climb, and no matter how hard I try no matter how hard I scrimp and Save and no matter how hard I try to recycle upcycle, save money in certain places, cut , , I just can't climb this the Mount Everest of a huge issue for our family. All any woman and mother wants is for her family to be happy and healthy and warm and well-fed. Without any money I can't even be a homemaker that I want to be. My family is just so important to me. I just want the some simple luxury of a happy life for my two main guys, and my sweet son, who still keeps a smile on his face, even though we are so poor and he knows , he lives with it just like we all have learned to because that's what you do, you adapt. He's just so cool and my fiance is just a wonderful man to and does so much to help us get through every problem we have. When you're very poor you learn how to live how to truly truly live and you appreciate everything you have. You learn how to use things over again you learn how to be very frugal and you learn how to cook everything you have left I just the bare minimum... and make a wonderful meal out of noodles and cream cheese and milk as an example. You learn how to smile at the little things. We're all trying so hard to smile at this but we just haven't been this poor before. We just don't have anything. We can't function as the family we want to this time. We're so good at it but this time it's just such an exception. My fiance's boss kept all that money and put it in his arm in that needle and I know we will never hear from him again. it's an awful thing to experience this thing first hand. I've had to be so strong so very strong as a mother that I'm just wavering with every Breeze at this point. We have always lived below the poverty limit and I have made this family function well and we've all kept smiles on our faces . This $1,000 absolutely killed us. I know 1000 is chump change to a lot but to us it is an amazing amount of money that we can make last so long because we are so Frugal and know how save and recycle and buy cheap and cook cheap and even though we had been managing and doing all this stuff for cheaper almost free or doing it wonderfully and eating well but we just can't now because we were expecting this money! and now it's just lost in limbo it'll never ever be seen by us! as I sit and I write this, my heart beats faster and bounds with fear of the future and of the present. I am just sitting here with tears in my eyes just wondering what I'm going to do next. I just want to live like a normal happy Family and it's so hard to when you can't even buy toilet paper. we are in serious need of paying every single bill and expense we have for the month. the notices are coming the past-due notices are coming and with every time I get the mail I have an anxiety attack and I just want to curl up in a little ball and just cry! it's getting so cold and we're going to get the power turned off. there's only so much energy assistance they can give you and so many times you can barter with them as to how much you can give them but when you don't even have anything to give them and their resources to get the money what do you do?? We don't even change, so I can't put a smile on my face, and get some cheap candles from the dollar store next door, and yet again make the best of everything and say it's a slumber party and cuddle up in blankets, for my son... Because the best thing for me to see as a smile on his face! I am beside myself still and don't really know what to say. Opiate addiction is a huge epidemic in this country right now but... And now , my family experiencing the problems first hand. I can't help but be angry at my boyfriend's boss for keeping this money that he owes him because it is just so much and it would have just done it would have paid for us for the whole winter! yet part of me feel so sorry for him because he knows right from wrong and he knows what he's doing to this family and he's got to have just such a dark black hole in his heart that he's going to carry with him for his whole life knowing what he did to a family . He seriously damaged an entire family. my fiance and him were friendly and got along well before he got back into heroin. he has been addicted to heroin and got off of it himself but then he took just one little taste of it and it started all over again and he did this this horrible horrible thing to his good friend and his family! he was so proud of himself for getting off of heroin in the first place and now this happened. this is what they say when they say that addiction takes over even your best interest and your common sense so I do feel sorry for him. I hope he can overcome this and get over this yet again, because I am worried for his life at the same time I'm worried for our lives. even though I feel for this man who didn't pay my boyfriend I have to pick my battles and I have to choose my family and feeling that sadness in my heart for my own family rather than him. I have to cut ties with him unfortunately because I've chosen my family hands down as any good mother would. I'm just so anxious all the time I'm so worried and I just don't know what to do! my boyfriend is too spiraling into such a depression because he feels as though he's failed . he didn't fail. Unfortunately we are experiencing the downfalls of heroin use and nobody in this family even uses it. we are in a desperate situation. this is the Dire Straits. that is why I thought I would ask for a little help. Thank you in advance if anybody does consider donating to our family's well-being.
