Triumph 111. Janet, welcome to the program.

Oh, thank you so much for taking my call and what you were saying was hitting home

and to me and in other areas of my dysfunctional life so I appreciate that.

What I'm calling about today is something that I said I'm really going to do this.

Stupid of me to do this.

I married my high school sweetheart.

We went to college together, same college, and I got pregnant in the middle of my first semester of college and he was going and I finished that

semester and then the next semester I had to go part time and then the next

semester she was born at early fall and so I was trying to gear back up to you know work his schedules his class schedules and my

class schedules so we wouldn't have to have her in a daycare at being an infant

we were really strong about that and you know that was I'm going to age myself here that was in the late 70s and

My husband said, said, hey, want you just stay home and take care of her?

And when I finish my degree, because I'll be making more money with my degree than you will be. I'll then put you through.

Okay, I have held on to that for 44 years. I through the time she turned when she turned four we had a son and he was diagnosed as being a handicap

disabled mentally physically and they've mentally, physically. And the doctor just basically told us to put him in an

institution he wouldn't live past 11. And I'm a bulldog enough. I said no he's staying home. So he's 40 now. He lives with us and I'm just holding on to that promise that he made me.

It took me 17 years going part-time just to get my basics out of the way and then when we

were at a place where we could afford a nanny to come into our house and help me with our son. He said, no, no,

no, let's, I got this job coming up and we left the country we went to Africa and

I wasn't able to finish the degree And that is one of my root problems I have with him is he will promise me things and he doesn't follow through.
