Oh, Peg, I am so sorry to hear that....I know the feeling well....things were like that all throughout my growing up years....(well, my physically growing up years...as the case can be strongly made that I have not grown up yet...) and each time it was just as scary and worrisome....but some how we made do and things eventually got better....so keep your chin up darling and things will work out....

My thoughts with you...
