My wife's cousin was in this truck...
Things out of our control...
On September 16th, my wife, @queenbee1977, got a phone call that her cousin had been in an accident. Her boyfriend was a truck driver, and another driver had pulled in front of him and his vehicle had went under his truck tire. As you can see from the picture, the truck was destroyed, and her, and her boyfriend barely escaped, luckily unharmed.
A different view...
Worse to follow...
On Thursday, September 23rd, my wife again got a phone call, this time from her cousin. Her boyfriend of seven years had decided that right after the truck accident was a good time to decide to break up with her. My wife and I had experience with her boyfriend in the past and had told her cousin that he was not good for her, and had offered to help her if she ever wanted to leave him. He had verbally abused her for years and in general, treated her horribly.
So now...
My wife and I have been attempting to sell our home and move to off grid land. We informed her cousin that should we be able to, she is more than welcome to come with us, however, she has a lot of health issues and that type of life would be very hard on her. In the meantime, I am helping her to get a disability case started, and helping her to get set up with social services. My wife and I are able to help her with food and shelter, but our ability to support another adult is very limited, and as I said, she has a lot of health issues.
In closing...
My family could use prayers that anyone would be willing send up for us. Finances are tight, as I know they are for everyone, but we try to help people when we can and when they are really willing to help themselves. I hope that my wife's cousin really breaks with this guy, and takes the time to get her life in order so she does not have to depend on someone else for her support. It will take a few months, but the payoff will be worth it. We have made it clear that her ex is not allowed here, but I hope we do not have to use that, I hope that she moves on to live a happier life. But...
Only time will tell...
