I have been thinking something for quite a while now about this posting and I will probably get all kinds of flack for it. But....... how many ways can you give the same advice? How many times are you going to hear, "yes but".
Is anyone familiar with the terms "victim" and "attention getter"? We are into page 13 of this post.
If the OP was sincere in their desire to improve their plight, I think by now something might have been attempted and maybe even started.
OK, a lot of you will think I have a cold, cold heart. Well I don't. But I've been around people who play these games long enough to sort of know what I'm talking about.

Amen. Those of us who've seen the same pattern of posting about her woes, then stating reasons why no advice will work and then posting about her woes again in a few weeks havent been taken in again this time. Some may find that cold but it's not -- it's accepting the reality that some people, although they claim otherwise, dont really want to improve their situation so much as they want commiseration. And it's difficult to continue having sympathy for someone like that.
I look at it like this. Dying is the last thing your ever going to do. I say enjoy the experience. It's something you have never done before. You only get one chance at it so don't mess it up. If your life is miserable and it can't be corrected imagine the sense of relief your going to enjoy. Welcome the event and if you can't laugh at it at least try to smile. Hope that helps you.
