I lost my job a few weeks ago (there was a lot of abuse and unnecessary stress in that position and it was decided with my bosses wife that it was best I leave because he suffers from PTSD and was lashing out mainly on me) at first I was okay with that, I knew I wouldn't be able to pick up another job but I should be able to pick up some cleaning jobs ect. And I'd apply for government help so our medical was covered. I haven't picked up any work, we're struggling to make ends meet, I can't even afford food this fortnight, I'm so glad it's just me and hubby Right now, we've had to tell everyone that we won't be doing Christmas this year and were selling our ute for a bit of extra cash. To top it off, my government claim was denied today because I'm too far pregnant to look for ongoing employment but I'm not far enough pregnant to access the pregnancy assists, which not only means no government payment but also no concession card so no medical is covered. We have a scan next week which is $300 and a GP the following week $120. I'm sitting here in tears because our life has turned to shit, we planned for this baby, we knew that with both incomes we would be able to afford everything and have enough for savings and once bub is born I'd be able to stay at home for at least few months, now I'm so scared of the future, I feel like I'm already failing as a parent
