Surviving: From psychopath to job loss

A Fin24 user manages to smile, pray, stay humble and helpful despite a wave of trials. She writes:

I AM A divorced single mom with 2 daughters. My ex-husband is a psychopath. He lies, changes jobs, changes his name, address and telephone numbers.

I have  tried going to the courts and even hired a private attorney, to no avail.

I had lost my permanent job and my home; I am in major debt and am currently under Debt Review; I have survived an attempted hijacking and an armed robbery.

I have been plagued by illness and after a major operation fell down stairs which left me with a blood clot.

I cry into my pillow or in the shower where my kids won't see my pain and tears.

I am now working as a temp and I  struggle from day to day. Trials continue to come my way, yet through it all, I have learned to be humble, to be helpful, smile and pray. In doing this - the day will be OK.
