Thank you, eddy, for convincing prairiedawn and setting this up. Thanks, PD, for letting us help! Your family deserves good things and hopefully this will help you on your way to them.
Plus, man, I just can't help but feel like if anybody needs some of their faith in humanity restored right now, it's you guys. If some support from ML reminds you and your DH that there are good people in the world who believe in your worth and are rooting for you, we've done good.
PD, I've said this before, but it really sticks out for me. You replied to a post ages and ages ago (I don't think I was even the OP) and gave advice along the lines of 'put your head down and push through'.
Whenever I'm dealing with something really rough I try to remember that.
prairiedawn, I have/had MANY family members who also work/worked in that field. I am very aware of the politics and the unpleasant things that can happen, and the upheaval it can cause families. I am hoping/praying with all my might that you make the transition to a 'normal' life without any bumps.

you guys. this is fucking overwhelming. i have been trying to respond to stuff in this thread all day and just couldn't think of anything to say.
i just now showed the PP account to dh who took one look and yelled, "HOLY SHIT!!!!" and instantly got teary. he has gotten two jobs since we left the church, but one is not terribly consistent and one is straight commission. i'm waiting for my hard copy of my college transcripts to arrive for my most promising interview so far. i've also been temping.... but it just hasn't been enough. and now i'm crying again.
you have no idea how much this money will help. food,gas, j's medicine, heat. it's all covered now. thank you so so so much.
It's people like you who give God a good name, prairiedawn.
I have no idea is this is blasphemous.
But this is how I feel.
you nut, it's the other way around!!!!! it's YOU guys.
we are still very close with many many church members and a LOT of them are having so much trouble with this and want to know why God hasn't helped us or intervened somehow after giving 20 (dh) and 15 (me) years to the church. now i can answer them. i can tell them that God is on my message board

It doesn't surprise me that God hangs out on ML. Suck it, CEP.
(note: this is how you do blasphemy)
PD, you are a wonderful person and you deserve all of this and more
