Happy belated birthday

Sept. 11

Today is my 37th birthday. Not one person has said “Happy Birthday” to me today--not even my own family.

I do understand that 9/11 was a terrible day; it was devastating. But at the same time, it bothers me that my birthday is overshadowed by the incidents and always will be.

I am not in love with my husband anymore but I honestly don’t know how to leave. I have no job, no money, no home and I am absolutely terrified my husband and MIL would try to take my son away from me. I couldn’t deal with that.

My mother and my 6 year old son are my best friends.

I have a college degree and can’t find a job. I feel like a failure.
