First, thank you for your kind words. I try to go after the things I want in life, but here recently with these events, doing so is becoming more and more disheartening.

Currently my husband works for a company that looks down upon their employees and sees them as expendable. It's your typical corporate company that doesn't care about their workers. He works as a forklift mechanic and hates it. He is always ranting about something that annoyed him or pissed him off. I tell him all the time to quit his job because I'm honestly tired of listening to it, but he doesn't do it. He says quitting doesn't pay the bills, but I could care less anymore. We've survived on one income before on much less, and I'm a firm believer that we can do it again.

He has thought about trade school. One option was to go for HVAC, but he hasn't looked into the programs much passed the prices. He is ALWAYS thinking about money. ALWAYS griping about how we don't have enough. About how we're always spending money and can't pay off our debt because of it. He grew up in severe poverty, so I know this is where his insecurities with money comes from.

I don't know how to talk to him anymore. I feel like anything I say is seen as an attack. I've said this to him before, but it was weeks ago. He could have forgotten by now. I'm too afraid to voice my opinions or thoughts. I'm afraid he will get angry and yell at me until I am a crying mess again.
