I am so happy to have found this site again after uh... a dozen or so moves since last post. Please get me outta here. I really need advice desperately.

Thanks so much in advance and I am soooooooooooo happy to be back on this site.

Oh and btw, the Justice System uh doesn't work, as previous posts indicated back in 2005. I got the royal shaft, half a million in debt, no assets, not even my clothes, my babies pictures, grandparents things, NOTHING.

Yes it does happen in the good ole USA. Canada or anywhere sounds good to me.

He hasn't killed me yet, but at this rate it won't be long. I have managed with nothing for four years and I am still tickin, but this cannot go on.

Again, I need advice, where to go, what to do and how to get there. Funds are very limited.

Thank you!

What are some of your skills, resume, passions, etc...?

Without knowing to much and based on the other posts/thread; there is retail (walmart, home depot, etc...)

I have quite an impessive resume, some college, but this does me no good in this part of Indiana, or Indiana period. Average wages are low low low and because I have no dependent children I do not qualify for assistance. Average rent without utilities included here are ranging from $500 to $700 a month. I have one month of rent left and then on the move again. I just now got furniture for gosh sakes and someone gave that to me. I need to move where there are jobs that pay a living wage and there is some sort of hope for the future. I am too old to continue this sub-standard existence. No health care for four years, nothing. I don't mean to complain but after 26 years of marriage, you have to understand, he is purposely making it difficult for me. He always knows my location. I need to disappear.

I am heading to bed and hoping for some ideas tomorrow. I am starting to get in a real panic mode here. I don't know why, I have lived like this for so long now, you think I would be used to it. However, I think I am just worn out from it all. A person can only go so long without pooping out. Determination has been the only thing that has kept me going to now. Hopefully, we won't have any middle of the night wake up calls tonight. These loud crashing BOOMS (earthquakes) in the middle of the night are wearing me down as well.

Thanks everyone for just letting me vent.

Take care,

Me

Have you ever considered finishing the college? It is a good way out for now. I understand the 26 years of marriage, doesn't really make you a spring chicken.

After this I would suggest looking into Minn-St Paul; closer and the city is actually growing with professionals. I almost took a job there.

Another place to look is the southwest, small towns outside a major city. eg. Phoenix, AZ, Columbus, GA, and of course Las Vegas, NV. There are still jobs there where a college education is not required. No it is not retail.

I would avoid the larger cities unless you can get a salaried job. Maybe call a few friends who live elsewhere? Live with them for a few weeks while you save the rent money for other things. Also do remember that costs related to job searches MAYBE tax deductatable; do check first. That is a way to "save" money later.

Another employer of choice could be universities?

They are always looking for people. Many offer college tuition benefits. It could be a good thing to mention during the interview. (hint)

It is not much but it is a way out and forward.
