Threatened divorce, home repairs, looking for job, need food stamps in Misadventures of West Virginia Woman

With the cold front coming i told Talan we need to fix the exposed pipes underneath the mobile home. He told me keeps pipes running dont worry about it. I knew there is over 8 foot of pipe uninsulated from last time we fixed our waterline and after a fight from him including him threatening divorce i went under the mobile home with my brother instead putting on heat tape we insulated everything. My husband told me he is tired of me and my family making decisions without him. Until he makes the right decision he will be ignored! I rather insulate now than pay thousands for a plummer to fix later. He refuses to fix anything. I am the one who does repairs!

My husband Talan is to proud to sign up for unemployment. I went to dhhr got paperwork for food stamps. My 12 hours a work a week will not keep us a float. He refused to fill out the paperwork saying we will be fine. I delivered the paperwork back asking him to help me. He said if we made it once we will make it again. I went to charity got food last month because his pride last month refused food stamps. He tossed the paperwork on table refusing to sign it out i almost cried.. Get over your pride or we will be starved and homeless! Mom offered to pay the rent he got furious when he found out my mom offer to pay for the divorce too.

I went to a job interview yesterday the lady quickly dismissed me when i told her i wanted close to 40 hours a week that my current job is giving me 12. She dismissed me for not wearing makeup. She was offended by my no nail polish. She felt i underdressed for the occasion. I wore dress clothes but apparently i must wear a mask to work there. I probably wont get a call from her. How dare i desire to work more hours for a company to feed my family. How dare i try to do better. This woman seems to forget she can easily end up in my position broke and struggling. I will keep putting out job applications. I deserve a job where i make enough money to survive.. Excuse me for trying.

It is currently 17 degrees Fahrenheit it will dip down to 2 according to The Weather Channel.It is warmer here than most places in the USA. Today is my day off i plan to do job applications try to convince my husband to fill out his part of the dhhr unemployment paperwork. I am not ashamed to ask for help! His ego will decide whether we starve or not!

I am still depressed and angry over dads death. Talan is sick with a cold refuses to go outside or put in job applications. Anyone know how to motivate a lazy ass? I am so driven to get a better job yet he didnt even go to his interview because he didnt feel well. I know he sick but if given a choice to starve and end up homeless or go to interview sick with a cold you can bet i would be at interview!

I got less than $40 in my bank account praying to make it to payday. I dont even know if i will get paid this week. Something need to change asap. I am an educated woman surely i can rise about this financial funk.
