i have let my family down big style

i have let my family down big style, we are losing our house due to no being able to afford the morgage repayments ,due to me being off work sick with depression, and 2 suicide attemts
we went to the local council today to register as homeless , there are six in our family ,and the only things they could surgest were baed and breakfest or a caravan (mobile home) .
this has made me feel so bad that i feel useless and unsafe.
this is going to distory my family

I think that is horrible. I also think it is good that your family got help.
Also, I think if you cared about your family you wouldn’t let that happened. You know before doing these suicides you should have thought what would happen to your family.
Good news is that because you are steel here you can do something for your family now- get them out of this situation- get job.

thanks for your reply ????
but i have to say that i would like to be able to go back to work but my doctor wont let me and my work wont let me back .
i have asked my work if they could lay me off so that i could claim benifits, but they wont let me go,so im strugling with next to no money coming in each week.
you seem to think i care nothing for my family......
and that i can help what is going on at the moment ...........

so my answer to that is ........ i love my family with all my heart
and if i could turn back the clock and make things perfect i would
but im not superman and i dont have a crystal ball to see into the future.

so again i would like to thank you for your reply and your words of wisdom ??????
and thanks for making this week so hard for me coping with life

your judgment of my life has really made my week

.......................................... thanks guest...................................

ps ... i hope you need help and advice one day and there is no-one there to help you

Do not blame yourself at all, Overdose. It is a truly difficult situation to be in for you and your family but ye are looking to fix things. Does your family have relatives that could assist too?


I would recommend seeing your doctor again. Situations have changed and he/she should be aware that you will now be more willing to work and assist your family, financially.

If you can, try calling a pastor from a local church and tell him what you've been through. I live in a small town in Florida and am not a regular church goer, but churches are more likely to extend sincere compassion and expedite assistance for you and your family than a state agency. It may also open the door for your family to establish new life-long relationships with good people and God. Just know though, people in churches are just regular people and they all don't practice God-like behaviors. But, "all" of the people aren't like that. So, if the first call doesn't help, call another and don't give up. Faith has to start somewhere and the rewards are ever lasting. Good Luck!
