NO REASON TO GO IT ALONE WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH

DEAR ABBY: I am at my wits' end and feel my life is over.
I just want to get my life back the way it was 10 years ago.
In the past eight years I have lost two jobs. I am currently
unemployed and in financial ruin. I see no way out. Every
job I apply for wants to do a credit check, so there goes
any good job I might have. I have no resources for a couns-
elor since I have no health insurance and nobody for a
sounding board. Please help me see the light at the end of
the tunnel. I feel virtually alone.
-- TROUBLED IN VIRGINIA

DEAR TROUBLED: First of all, you are not alone. At last
count, millions of fellow Americans were in the same boat.
When people are out of work for an extended period, debts do
tend to pile up. But if you are upfront about it during a
job interview, I am sure that fact will be taken into con-
sideration.

The job market is beginning to thaw, so please keep trying
and do not give up hope. There are support groups for people
who are out of work -- and a place to start looking for one
would be a bulletin board at the unemployment office in your
area. Use your local library as a resource to find support
groups on the Web. Network with other people you know who
are unemployed. Inquire at churches and synagogues because
some of them offer these services. Also, ask at the mayor's
office or city hall, and at community centers. Help is
everywhere; you need to get out and look for it.

Tired of throwing out rotten food? Brawny Produce Protector
Bags prolong the life of your fruits, vegetables and cut flowers

ripening after harvesting or picking. Ethylene gas accelerates
ripening, aging and rotting. Forever Bags absorb and remove this
damaging gas, dramatically extending the life of fruits,
vegetables and flowers.

------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR ABBY: My father has been short-tempered for as long as
I can remember. He never beat us, but he spanked us plenty
as a means of discipline when we were growing up. Now this
anger is random; he makes every family event a nightmare for
anyone involved. He insists on planning events at their home,
and screams and degrades any of us "kids" (and Mom) if we
do something other than his way.

Shortly after my sister's divorce a few years ago, my father
met with our priest to discuss his anger issues, but it
didn't change anything. We've suggested anger management or
counseling, but he tells us we're "overreacting" and blames
my sister's drama as an excuse for his behavior.

I am expecting my first child, and my husband and I are
afraid of the effect Dad's behavior will have on our little
one. My sister's children are all afraid of my father. While
they respect him, they constantly worry about when the next
blowup will happen. I don't want to cut anyone out of my
life, but how can I deal with this?
-- EMOTIONALLY EXHAUSTED IN OHIO

DEAR EXHAUSTED: You and your siblings are no longer children
who have to obey your volatile father. If he uses the excuse
that you (all) are in his home to imply that his behavior is
acceptable, then you and the sibs should host family gath-
erings in your own homes, where your rules take precedence.

It's sad that your father didn't take his anger issues to a
licensed psychotherapist, who could have helped him under-
stand what causes them and given him tools to manage them.
But since he didn't, you must accept that your first respon-
sibility will be to your child -- specifically to protect
him or her from your father's explosive outbursts.
