Irie's attempt to get her groove back...TRIP REPORT

[Iriesistah]

Hi Sweet Sue~ Thanks you for your insight.
There is a lot more to the story than I am posting here, this is of course a Board about Jamaica, not personal problems and I probably should not even be writing about them on here as is. I only am as part of my report.
In fact I considered taking my post from lat night down.

As far as the phone goes, I was well aware that I cost $1.99 per min and I used it a total of 24 min while in Jamaica. I only used it to call home to check on the boys for one brief call every day or so.

Six years ago my husband asked me to leave my management job to open our own business together.
It was an existing business that we took over and made a LOT of improvements to. My management background was of great help to getting things in place.
Now I am not "allowed" to even see the accounts for "our" company.
We DO make enough money in the business for me to be able to buy the food and necessities that our family needs, I do know that much.
However, for example, we have no health insurance.
I have not really been to a doctor since I had the babies 3 and a half years ago because if I do go for something it is held over my head and I am told that I will have to sacrifice something else to make it happen, like food or clothing for my kids. So I just don't go.
About 6 months ago I was really worried about some moles that I have. It had been bothering me for years. I asked if I could go see and doctor and I went.
When the bill came my husband never paid it and it finally went to collections. When I showed him the collections notice he told me, "oh medical bills don't count the way regular bills do, it is ok."
But HE goes to the doctor monthly for random things, his back, allergies, ect.
HIS bills never go to collections, he pays them.
I just see it as unfair.

When we started our business we had a total of 5 employees, now only one of the original 5 remain.
Once I was gone no one could handle my husbands antics and one by one they all left (all within 6 months).
Each and everyone of them have contacted me and told me how sorry they were , ect. and that they couldn't take him anymore.

Anyway, I am not going to get into all the specifics here on the board, it is not the place for that and I am sorry to have even put it out there as is.

I am not perfect. I have never claimed to be.
I am however mindful of my actions and strive to be the best mother and person that I can be.

Thanks again for your words.
