Bible Answer: Hello reginald, Welcome to the Forum. I can empathize with your circumstances and will lift you up in prayer, my friend. Unfortunately, this Forum is not suited to provide advice of this nature. It is better left to someone who knows you and your exact circumstances. Possibly a Pastor or other mature christian? What scripture does offer is to seek the Lord in prayer- continuously (1 Thess. 5:17). In Phil. 4:6-7, Paul instructs us to "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." The 'why' can be found in vs. 7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (NASB) May God give you the wisdom, strength and insight to cope- despite your circumstances!
