I’m sorry I haven’t posted before now, I have had an incredibly busy time (my daughter just had a baby)
Wow, you have made some progress…..telling your husband, a GA meeting, new church.
Big steps, and ones you should be proud of.
Could your husband take control of the finances for a while? It would take a lot of pressure off you, not having access to money. I did it when I told my husband…..I gave him my debit card and made him sit with me each week while I went through the bills (he hasn’t a clue how to pay them) but I made sure he knew where every single cent was going. If I needed cash I would ask him or he would give me my card and I would have to be accountable for every red cent. It worked for me, I was sick of the responsibility and the pressure, not to mention the fear of having that access to money.
Nowdays, I am back at the wheel….however he knows what we have and don’t have. What needs to be paid and if there is anything extra. I’m still accountable .
I’m looking forward to reading how your GA meeting went.
You’ve got this!!!!
