One way to feel a lot of despair really fast is to read about how insurance companies treat people with bipolar disorder. Words like "automatic decline" are common. I have insurance for now, and probably will when Manny gets his new job (knock on wood) but for how much longer? How will I deal with it when we're divorced? I'm getting all worked up but it's not anything that is affecting me right now, so I need to mellow out. I'll deal with it as it comes.
The key, truly, is me getting a job after I'm out of library school. A full-time, real job, with benefits. How this will be accomplished is something I don't know. I have a very sparse resume which I've padded out with volunteer jobs.
I am getting nothing done. I really should be working instead of googling stressful things.
Jo, one way to deal with it is to finalize the property settlement, custody and everything else and just not finalize "status" until someone actually needs to have status finalized in order to marry someone else. Cases can remain in this kind of limbo up to near the 5-year mark sometimes. When the time comes, talk to your lawyer about it.
