Time Keeps Ticking Away...

I'm getting things ready for a yard sale and it's really depressing me.
Right now I live at home, my car is totaled and I have a DWI hanging over my head. I work for my mother (whom I have a long history of f*cked-up-ness with) and have a two year old to support. My marriage of three short years is over, and it feels like I've sold or lost everything I've ever had that was important to me (except my daughter of course). This will be the fourth time I've gone through my belongings and sold things for money and each time it gets more and more desperate and non-discriminating, with less and less need. I could comfortably live out of a bag at this point, and not want for much.
Going through my drawers I found a Swarovski crystal bracelet my husband gave me on our wedding day, along with expensive jewelry I wore for the rehearsal dinner. I've already sold my wedding ring, but everything must go in order to make ends meet. It hurts. And not because of the money spent on them.
I'm always hoping things will get better. People keep saying, "this will pass", "everything happens for a reason", etc. My life will be on track for a month or so and just when I start to relax and actually be HAPPY a series of miserable events will happen, everything has to be changed, and things turn for the worse all over again.
I don't want to be like this forever...I know it's within my power to make it happen but I don't know how.

I´m sorry to hear that you´re going through a tough time.
I was wondering, is it possible for you to get a job somewhere else?
I agree that things happen for a reason, but we can usually steer them a little bit. It takes a lot of willpower, but sometimes it brings forth happy solutions.
I hope it will for you.
