- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment.

From one struggling person to another, I'm sending you all the love I can muster. It's the only thing we can do for one another is to care.
I'm sorry for the loss of your dog, I still haven't fully recovered from losing mine a little over a year ago. You would think I felt lucky to have him for 18 years, and I do, but it's also more painful because I had more time to be close to him and want to keep him in my life. He became a staple in my life, and it feels empty without him.
I'm sorry for your ex losing their job. That's going to make the living situation tougher until they are able to find new work. The money issue is always stressful, and it affects us all, all the time. It never ends. It's even worse with someone who you're afraid of. The fact that people cannot afford to live alone and must be stuck with people they are afraid of is literally a human rights issue. The fact that we cannot escape our abusers is a massive problem that sits unaddressed.
Just try to remember, it's not you who is at fault, but a broken fucking system which has devalued you both and the labor you both do. You shouldn't be anxious or worried in this situation, because we should have a society that supports the people who do all the actual work to make the world continue on without interruption. Yet we do not. I know that you both work hard and deserve a break.
Please accept this digital hug.
Thank you so much.
It's just a LOT in the space of a week.
