Hey..need a little help/support please.

[lildreamer316]

Me and my lovely husband have been going through a rough financial time for the last 2 1/2 months. He had a good job a little under 2 hours away from here.(I stay home with the baby). On his way back one night in our family car; he had a wreck -someone pulled onto the road in front of him on the highway; he hit them going 75mph (he was not hurt badly at all thank Universe). I did not have comp insurance; so the car sits in our driveway in peices. I had to ask my family for money to buy another car (we have a two-seater Honda also); but ended up using that money to live on due to the fact that a week after the accident; his coked-up manager fired him for absolutely no reason.
I took the wreck and later firing as the Universe telling us that he was not supposed to be at that job for whatever reason (duh!) even though it was supporting us well; and felt no sense of urgency. After many years and trials I have learned to trust in the flow of the Universe to provide the opportunities and chances we need if we are open to them. With that said; here's the rest of the story:
Hubby found a job in the same vein but with less than half the pay here about 8 min. up the road. We have been stretching the money; but as of right now we are under $100 and by the weekend; despite his paycheck; will still be under $300. I kept thinking that something would change with the job he got fired from; because we both talked to the vice pres of the company the night after he got fired--and he (VP) said that he wanted to talk to my husband and that he was going to see what he could do about the situation.Then; he never called back or answered. I don't understand why the VP of a multi-million dollar company would lie to me like that--why didn't he just tell me to f off when I called him? The whole thing is very puzzling. I keep trying to see the pattern and the lesson here, and there have been a couple for my husband; but he has learned them and is not creating more problems for himself at the moment.
I am trying very hard to have faith that the Universe is working the way it should. Things have almost always worked out before and I do remember that; but the closer we get to having no money at all; the fear begins creeping in. Please help me with my fear and any insights you have.I am just having trouble understanding why this is happening the way it is; and why the Universe is testing me to my limit. It seems we are going to have to be broke and unable to go anywhere this summer with my beautiful two year old. I can't even put his car seat in the car we have; it's illegal. My closest relative lives 2 hours away and the only babysitter i had stole $200 from me; so I cannot go to work except on odd occasions when one other friend has been nice enough to come watch my baby. I understand from reading a lot of threads here in this group about the energy shift--but why does my child have to be "punished" for it? Why do I have to stress about providing the basics for living? It seems extreme; and it's not the first time we have gotten this close to complete poverty.
Any insights or words of inspiration and comfort would be welcome. I just can't bring myself to read my own cards atm; I think I am WAY to involved to get a decent reading.
Thanks for your patience with my ramble...............

1. lildreamer, I don't have any insights, but I can send you energy and...

lots of light and love. I'm so sorry that you're going through this. The type of situation that you're in right now is so difficult even when we have faith that we'll come out OK on the other side. I ask that the Universe help your family to find what it should be doing now to get your financial situation back in the black, and I ask that you be given comfort by those beings that work with you for your highest good. (This or something better for the highest good of all involved.)

9. Thank you for your good energy!

That is just what I need!:hug:

2. Dear lildreamer, you are not being punished.

It sounds like you need some sort of crisis assistance. There are many agencies, both religious and not, that will give you emergency cash, groceries, baby items, etc. Why don't you call the county dept. of social services (sometimes called family & childrens' services) and ask them to refer you to an agency that can help you. Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for help. Salvation Army or Good Will and many church groups are all standing ready to give you assistance. We've all been in this situation at one time or another.

Please don't let this situation cause you to doubt and fear. Ask your guardian angels to give you guidance and strength during this time. I am asking the universe to wrap you and your family in a blanket of golden light.

Please let us know how things turn out for you.

3. I wholeheartedly agree.

Your tax dollars over the years have paid for those services, take some back. I had to in Nov last year, I was completely broke with no where to live and went to social services who hooked me up with a women's center that paid my security deposit and my electric. I was one day from being homeless. I also qualified for 6 months of foodstamps which got me back on my feet. With a 2 year old, they will help you.

6. Thanks both of you...^^^^

To clarify: I don't feel as if *I* am being punished; but I am upset if my son will have to suffer whilst I and my husband are learning whatever lessons we are supposed to be getting from this experience. I see every event as a chance to learn; but am having trouble figuring out what exactly this is supposed to be teaching us. That's why I came to you all for clarification.
I will definately take your advice to heart and go see what services I can get...I am never too proud to ask for help when it comes to providing for my baby.
Thanks again for your extremly kind words of support!

5. oh lildreamer

I'm so sorry for your struggles.

I was in a similar situation when my child was very young and it was quite grueling. I empathize totally.

People would say dismissively "well kids are resilient" and I'd think so what does one say "go play in traffic kid?" (sarcasm) But if your child is that young, your state of reality is largely that child's state of reality. So finding some coping mechanisms is your primary goal.

This is not punishment. It is an unfortunate series of circumstances. You will recover.

It may sound prosaic but visualizing your husband getting up in the morning and happily going to work and happily coming home is a simple start. Eradicating a sense of hopelessness is another goal.

One thing that helped me enormously was the prayer entitled "the Morning Song" at this site. . .

Believe me, I felt really dumb expressing gratitude for stuff I didn't necessarily have but it really turned the energy around. It has been said by many that prayers of gratitude are those that are the most powerful.

I'll contemplate further your situation and post again later.
Till then just rest assured that these circumstances are transitory. I sense that there are options available to you that you are not able to see right now. Don't be afraid to ask for help as you have here.

Great Blessings to you and don't ever allow anyone to take your dream away.

8. Good advice!

Thanks for the link. It's always good to be reminded of what you have to be grateful for; and to try to put positive energy out there--especially in times like this.

I don't necessarily feel as if *I* am being punished;as I said in the other post; I am just trying to find out what I/we are supposed to be learning from this situation. It has not really been clear what the greater good is here; and I suppose I am just impatient to discover it. I don't want my son to have to suffer for my lesson-learning! I am hoping some clarification is forthcoming.

Thanks again for the kind words; thoughts and energy!

11. I was just struck with an image of the possibility

of you perhaps caring for a couple other little ones of some part time working moms in your home for extra cash-ola. Your little one might be a little encroached upon but might also enjoy the socialization and part time working moms might much prefer having their kids in a home environment rather than in a traditional sometimes impersonal day care.

The image came through quite strongly and though you might have reservations, just as long as it's not a 40+ hour a week arrangement and you don't have a brood of them over, it could be greatly beneficial for all involved.

I'll think on it some more but I known a few stay at home moms who've supplemented their incomes by doing so.

I had my god daughter playing with my son probably about 3-4 days a week when they were pre K. Though I didn't profit financially, he definately matured socially from her regular company.

14. I agree that I see you as the one bringing in the money at this point..

I am not sure how, but the ball is in your court, not your husband's.

12. I'm Sending you Love and Light and . . .

I'll share what my primary guide told me to do when my husband and I were in this situation. Imagine what it feels like to be completely provided for--to have all the money you need--really feel it. Once you have imagined it visualize and feel that wonderful feeling/energy coming into the top of your head. Take in as much of this energy as your body can stand. Let it flow through you from the top of your head to the ends of your fingertips and toes. Stay in that light energy as long as you can. Do this every day. After the first day of doing this, my husband got a good job offer.

Many people have a problem doing this exercise because they don't think they deserve to feel this way. When you do it each day, your body will become more accustomed to the energy and the energy will get stronger and stronger. Your body then becomes like a magnet and you attract the abundance that is your birthright.

Don't worry about learning lessons until you have claimed the abundance you deserve. There will be plenty of time for learning lessons in your new energy.

Wishing you love and light and abundance.

13. Your baby....

Your son is luckily at an age where a shortage of money will not impact him as much as it would later. He is too young to even be aware of it. As long as he has the basics, food, shelter, clothing he is a happy camper. And those you can get especially if you tap into the social service and church network.

The most important thing for you to keep in mind is that your baby is going to cue off of you. If you are distressed, unhappy and not connecting to him, he will feel that strongly. He does not know or care about the money at this point. He is looking at your emotionality and your bonding with him. As long as that is there he will be fine. 20 years from now it will not matter at all if he went on vacation when he was two yrs old. What will matter is that he had a loving caring mother who bonded with him. And from your concerns it sounds like that is what he has! So he is going to be fine.

The universe is trying to send you some lessons. We are meant to face adversity with courage, strength and wisdom. (easy to say, hard to do).

You are meant to go in another direction, do something different. Stay calm and think. Can you get a job, can you go back to school while hubby stays home with baby? I am picking up that you are meant to do something income wise, not rely on hubby. You are supposed to take the reins for awhile...I am feeling that strongly. You have been too focused on his career, you are meant to do something money wise.

15. Peace, love, strength, and money

You child doesn't feel punished by your lack of cash. Of all the problems to have, money is the most transient. If you can get all your problems to boil down to money (and it sounds as if everything else is good in your world) then you will definitely be okay. :hug:
