Hello OCD Tribe Friends

Hello friends,

I am happy to say that the prozac seems to be working for me at the moment.  I notice that my moods cycle on a pretty regular schedule but they are not as intense.  The xanax helps me too, and I only take it when I really need it; but lately I have been taking a little more because of the situation with his sister, her husband and his 13-year old daughter.  Also, with the holidays coming up, I know that is a stressful time so I will be keeping an eye on myself, but all in all I'm doing ok.  (Thank you God.)

My husband's family has been spending weekends with us because they still don't have a job or a home.  They want to come live with us because they say our home is a better environment for the 13 year old but I have told my husband that I think we would be enabling them if we allow them to live with us while none of them have any income.  I am praying for compassion and wisdom in this for both of us.  I want to help them but I don't want to be taken advantage of.

Since my husband only has his disability now (at the moment) we are very strapped financially.  I have been working more to try to make up for some of the financial loss.  Saturday, our church had a food distribution and I took my sister-in-law and she and I worked helping distribute food.  Then we got some for ourselves.  I was proud of her because even though she has an injury that makes her be in pain she was a good helper and she said she enjoyed herself. 

The pastor preached the most interesting sermon on Sunday.  He preached from Samuel about when David hid in the cave of Addulam, which means refuge.

1 Samuel 22:1-2

So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's household heard of it, they went down there to him.  And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them.  Now there were about four hundred men with him.

So God really has a sense of humor doesn't he lol.  I think he wants to use me to teach my husband's family to be responsible or something.

Anyway, the preacher went on to say that God uses nobodies and am starting to wonder if we will be able to fit 400 relatives in this house. lol

Yes, it does seem that God has a sense of humor, and a plan.  It's just hard to see sometimes.  I'm glad that you're still fighting on.  Don't give up!

It's nice to hear from you. You are a very strong woman. My husband is out of work for just a week this month and I am already panicked on how to get things paid. Not to mention he just started talking to his succubus mother again and she hates me with a passion. I feel kinda betrayed. You'd understand if I provided details trust me...

Anyway keep fighting. This time of year is very hard. Holidays alone send me to the brinking point. (((((HUGS)))))
