About suffered enough

posted on Jan 30, 2008

I am 25, served in the military for about 4 years now. My husband lost his job and is incarcerated I have 2 children to care for. I work each day but its not enough. The reason my husband is locked up and cannot be bailed out is because he was out of the state when the arrest occured and is considered a flight risk. But he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know it sounds cliche' cut it is true. His bail....$4,000. I can barely breath, and my kids have nothing and if I dont pay rent Im out one the street I just dont know. I guess this is my chance to vent. My husband calls crying threating suicide. Advice, on how to get him out. We ared good people but for the last 4 years we just cant catch a break. Im praying each night for a savior. In the mean time Im visiting pawn shops and quich cash places. Somebody, anybodyhelping words. I dont know if I can hang on much longer. The only thought that keeps me is my childrens faces other than that I would not be here. I dont mean to question GOD but why does he make me suffer so much. I have tried to live life well, always helping when I can. Now I need help and prayer. I m still trying to maintain my faith but I dont know if I can hang on.

First -- breathe.

Second God isn't doing this to you, through our own choices that we make from the day we are born, we end up where we are today -- where ever that is.

First off -- get a lawyer. If you have low income, legal aid in your area should be able to assist you. If your husband is truly innocent, most of them will be of great assistance. He actually gets a public defender, so if he hasn't he should ask for legal counsel to be provided.

You should consider going to Social Security and applying for benefits -- such as food stamps, and SSI (supplemental income for low income families). Actually now they are little debit cards, that can be used at the credit scanners, so it's a bit more private. No one wants 'charity' but when you've got children, you do what you have to. Think of it this way, if you're a military veteran -- you've earned it.

I'm a disabled veteran, and have been where you are (minus the husbnd in jail) and can tell you there is no shame in it.

HANG IN THERE.
