    I feel for you man. I got some stories but that's neither here nor there. The best advice I can give is something that you seem to have down—don't give up. Just keep trying. Do that and you'll find something.

    I'll keep you in my thoughts.

        Hope everything works out for you. When I got out of the Air Force a few years ago I had no idea what I was gonna do. My wife had pretty much left me while I was on deployment. She took the kids and everything. We ended up getting back together bit we are still trying to get ahead and we aren't there yet. We still struggle financially and sometimes it means asking for help. And if someone needs it I'll gladly help as a way to pay it forward however much I can spare or in other ways. Always remember to pay it forward when you can. Good luck.

          Good luck my dude.

          I might also suggest posting to Reddit, I've seen these types of posts take off there.

            So sorry to hear about your situation man! I wish I could help I have cystic fibrosis and live on disability or I would be more then willing to help you brother! Really pulling for you! I know your coming out of this a even better man and your daughter is very lucky to have a dad that's sacrificing his own good to have the most time with her that he can! Keep your head up I know life can be so hard and feel so unfair but if you keep your head right you can get through anything and your on the right track just keep chugging bro!

                Flip the script on your situation and you'd be paying out the ***. It's amazing to me how a woman can do all the things you've documented and not have to pay a dime. Honestly, take gender out of this story and how can you not say that Parent X (you) should get alimony based on the actions of Parent Y?

                Glad to hear you've got a steady job. Any room for a 2nd? Sounds like you are living check to check and it'd probably be nice to have some run-on money just in case something happens. Maybe be a server/delivery guy on nights/weekends that you don't see your daughter?

                When I was laid off at my newspaper job, I worked part-time as a server at a pizza restaurant. On a good night I'd take home well over $100 in tips alone.

                Anyway, sounds like you are on the right track. Best of luck to you!

                    Re: Never thought I'd be here... in need of help.

                    Hi my friend,

                    Hope you and yours are ok or better.

                    But just in case things are still raugh, wanted to further reiterate to you that in the end -most of the times- for those that always act on good will, things will be OK. Even more for those that do believe in God.

                    As a testimony, I want to share with you some recent events that happened to me that I think relate to this sentiment ...

                    Three weeks ago, I found a stranger inside my room, he was a thief that took advantage of a back door being inadvertedly open. I thought it was someone I know but didnt realized it wasnt until I was right in front of him, I politely asked what he was doing and when I realized, kindly asked him just to leave. He did like he was and then hit me on the eye, I kind of couldnt see very well after that, he then took my glasses (I have significant miopia 6 & 7) and when I was telling him that he wouldnt be able to sell those he hit me in the neck, I kind of stumble but didnt fall, he told me to shut up and lay down the floor.

                    I didnt, he then took my cel phone, which I had all the time on my hand, I told him to keep it and just leave, and that I wasnt seeing. Then he grabbed a neck string that my mother gave me 30 years ago and I uncounciously (maybe not, dont know) grabbed it but he managed to take it, hitting me in the eye again and retelling me to lay down on the floor and shut up (as if I were yelling or talking loud, which I wasnt) , I still didnt. I felt something comming down my neck, I knew it had to be blood so I told him to leave, to take what he took and just go and that I wasnt seeing him due to the blows.

                    Then, I suddenly, for a brief moment got my sight back (saw very clearly) and that very moment I saw him with a knife on his hand and he attempted to stab me in the abdomen, I managed to move back and only felt the tip but it didnt cut me, at that point I realized that he wanted to kill me, so I then reagrupped and positioned my self to defend and also shouted that there was a thief in my house ... the house maid heared me and went to the front also shouting, which made him run away to the back.

                    In essence, he became agressive without reason, didnt hit me the last 2 times with his hand but with his knife, I had a stab on the neck and one very close to the eye plus the first punch, broke some bone next to my eye and made the eye move to the inside, also made me an internal hemorrage. Blood was all over inside and outside my house, my clothes, everywere. He wanted to kill me.

                    Yet, here I am, alive thanks to God, even after waiting like 30 mins or more for the 911 to come, after needing a 6-7 hour multiple surgery and a blood transfussion of another blood type as mine wasnt found. I have managed to preservate my sight and just have minor ailments and scars that might go away, nothing to complain, even if they dont.

                    At the moment of the issue, my mom was at the saloon having her hair done and while she was there she was praying to God and virgin Maria and my father, within his house, was also thanking God for not letting any of his family live (up to that time) what happened to someone famous here that was assaulted in his house.

                    After the news broke out, outside of family, friends, related and people I know ... many, many people called my parents to offer their blood and mostly to put me on their thoughts and prayers, people we dont know, from all the main -yet different, Jehova witnesses, catholics, protestants, etc- religions within my country.

                    This is all not related to me or my family, but to how things happen in live and as long as our actions are good and done without never wanting to hurt or do wrong, things tend to end good for the most part ... and ultimately, they tend to always give us peace ... sometimes it takes more time than what it took me, so in the meantime, never give up and never lose your faith.

                    My sincere prayers and best wishes to you, my friend !

                        I wouldnt say nonchalant but more like unafraid and thankfull for the goods and bad of my life, as both make me who I am.

                        I am taking steps to further improve the security of my home but am not afraid, am not losing my sleep nor dreams because of what happened ... in fact, I am thankfull that within all the bad, things turned out the least harmfull ... it could have been my mom, or my grandmother or my aunt or one of my brothers, even the lady that does the home duties, I could have lost the eye, the neck stab could have cut the jugular, I could have died ... but none of that happened.

                        The only thing I kind of regreat is that the agressor/thief hasnt been caught and such people tend not to reform and keep hurting others, hopefully he is taken into custody and into trial, just so he doesnt hurt someone else. He appears on a video (side shot) of a camera of a house back to back with mine and he is seen passing through with the knife still on his hand and a little girl (7-8 years old) that lives there and sensed that someone passed, going a few seconds after to see who it was ... nothing happened to her but when I saw it I was like, damn, should have done something to prevent him from leaving, even if I had died but later realized that things happen for a reason, one that I may not see right away. I honestly dont hate nor have hard feeling against the guy, but want him to do not harm others.

                        Almost everyone tells me that I must be alive for a huge purpose, maybe ... in the meantime, am thankfull and plan to keep doing as usual, always acting under good will.

                        Sorry for kind of derailing the thread, but though that it would be like an incentive for JW (who hopefully is fine now) and mostly for anyone with "issues" to keep their faith and dont falter.
