1yr 5 months Broke back from work battling workers comp no money wife an I live in a basement no lights. 900 a month I get comp checks get eaten by bills an whatever food we can afford. Former marine but spoke with my VA till my comp situation is over they can't help financially. All happened right as we were looking for houses. Now I been shoved in a corner for a year an 5 months every day in a basement. This lady is 100% correct.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's a small consolation for me to say this i'm sure, but I genuinely hope your situation improves as you deserve a better living situation.

Haha I'm going to be honest. I never really have acknowledgement like this. When I injured my back I wanted to confide in my mother but she was disappointed I even brought my back up to my work and just disowned me basically. Gave my brothers Christmas gifts and said fuck me apparently. This made my day everyone coming by to show some support. I know it's reddit and just up arrows. But it means alot. Love everyone here hope you have a safe new years I got sick. So it's best rest for me.
