I'm so sorry that you have experienced so much sadness in your life, BlueMoon(((HUGS)))

It must be hard to trust people after so many have hurt you so much.
I have also experienced the same kind of revolving door of friends in my life. I have been through a lot, and have been burned and abandoned many times as well. It's traumatic. I keep most people at a distance.

I never finished my degree either because I became disabled mid-stream, but I'm very proud of the work I did, and you should be very proud of the work you did, too. It sounds like it was all interesting and rewarding. Not everyone can say that- degree or no degree.

Congratulations on being eligible for extra help and possibly being able to take advantage of a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan. I hope that the plan turns out to be affordable for you because it would open up a whole new world of providers for you. I know that you are struggling in that regard now...
