I am completely at fault for my own financial wellbeing, but I want to be honest about how I got here. When I was in an abusive relationship, I found temporary comfort in online shopping for things around our house. It was a way to cope, but I didn’t realize how much it was hurting my finances. Since then, I’ve moved out and started back on my own path, but the debt I accumulated has been overwhelming.

As I continue to heal and find myself again, I’m working two jobs and pushing myself to the limit just to pay off what I owe. The stress has been a lot to handle, but I’m determined to move forward and start a new chapter in life—one without abuse and without debt holding me back.

Any assistance would mean the world to me as I work to rebuild and move forward. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.

For safety reasons, please do not share my name publicly. Thank you all
