I ended up skipping this meeting for three reasons:
1. I have insomnia, but usually try for n hour or two out of 24.No sleep at allllast night.
2. Was having a hard time with respiratory effects, not sure if allergies or cold. Now seems more like allergies.
3. No one showed up to drive me. A new group overseer came two weeks ago and I got to attend in person. I have requested time and again for someone to come.I did discuss with one elder that I have not been driving and he seemed to agree. I try to be relatively 'ready.' I need a second eye surgery, have had my broken elbow screwed together, and have very limited mobility.
4. Th subject matter is painful. I was married before coming into the truth and dear husb never got baptized. He was an angry drunk and beat me regularly, including but not limited to shooting a hand gun at me.The bullet grazed over my head. He also always practiced immorality. I am suffering, now, from some of his decisions, but still try to respect his choices. None of my sons followed into the truth, but followed the way he treated me, like a job function, maid, slave, meal ticket. Before he died, he let my next to yungest son's gf move in with. I was living elsewhere at the time, having been kicked out by dear husb. He told me I could come back home, but drank himself to death before that happened. I finished moving back in, but have been robbed of all my savings by son and gf. Thy have also taken my soc sec up til last month. That is why have no $$$ for fuel. I paid off all husb's bills when he died, and stayed married for over 40 years. My first born son was headed here when he died unexpectedly last year. My son that is here and his gf have a condo in Fla but have been living off me, here, for the four years that I have been widowed. Trying to get them to move, need an atty to file eviction, but my last soc sec was overdrawn before it got here. I am trying to collect monies owed to me in time to get some fuel.Son name calls and is hurtful but not physical. They should be moving soon and at least they will be warm in Fla. Not asking for advice, prayers please, as I have used all the obvious avenues.Sad to see my dog hungry, but I am preparing anything I can, and expect to get some puppy supplies tomorrow. Hope your Sunday was motivating.
