DH has officially been terminated
we got the letter in the mail tuesday-DH is no longer an employee of the school district.twelve years he put in there, was injured,had surgery reiunjured on the job.....they have always had no care for the well being of their employees we are better off him no longer working there.No lawyer would touch his case, went to several looking to find some sort of justice with no avail.So...time to let ig go and move on.He has been going to school full time through VESID for electrical engineering.i am hopeful for the future.I am working(tho off for another week)as a waitress in a country club.wages and hours are good all may change once DH finds new employment.I love working we will see what we will see.We are on medicaid, have been to a specialist approved by medicaid only to be told they will not cover this doctor.Frustrating.We also cracked the credit cards that had been paid off for christmas and beyond-no discipline-back to square one.I am stable and I am happy, but there are so many things that need to be reviewed and work to be done-just touching base-

Wishing you well..I truly believe that things happen for a reason, and your DH going to school to better your situation is probably the answer! Will be keeping you in my thoughts, as we have been there before..It always gets better!
