the children, we were barely making ends meet. The problem was we didn’t have a solution. I didn’t have a clue how to manage money and I didn’t know how to stand up for myself. All I could do was try.
“If only you’d come home after work instead of goin’ to have a few beers wit de boys.” I yelled. He didn’t let me continue.
“Now wait a minute,” he screamed, so loud it startled me. “I work hard every day on the job, and then I come home and work on the house.”
I didn’t hear anything else. I shut down. What was wrong with me? Why could I never win an argument? Why for once couldn’t I be right? Why did I feel so rejected, dejected, and inferior to him? I didn’t have the answerers and just gave up.
As the time passed Keith continued to stay out with the boys. I soon realized I would have to take charge of this household and focus on what I needed to do to care for our family. To feed and clothe my children, to make sure we paid the heating bills, so we wouldn’t freeze to death in dead of winter, as the construction on the house remained unfinished.
Household Finance came to Goose Bay and opened up a branch just down the street from where we lived. We started hearing how easy it was to get money.
“What do you think? Should we go?” Keith asked as he returned home after work one day.
“I heard a lot of people get into trouble with those finance companies,” I said, trying to sound educated.
“Well, maybe we can get a furnace for the house.”
