Hi everybody,
I didn't want to do this, but I have to because I need help. I am going through a divorce and my health has prevented me from working since 2021. I am starting to do better lately, but I am still not where I want to be. I have no job, no money, and no savings. I am hoping to be able to start working soon, but my ex-spouse has made it so that I am unable to access any of our finances. I have no access to our bank accounts; they have canceled all of our cards. They are paying bills for the moment, including the bare minimum for food, but have notified me that they intend to cut even that at the end of next month despite knowing that my health isn't great. They are threatening to sell the house when I solely put the down payment and bought everything inside of it. The only thing they own here is their clothes and books, which they're coming to take soon. This is my house, and I can't lose this too.
I also need to hire a lawyer to make sure that my best interests are represented. My spouse undoubtedly has a lawyer. They said they'd get one as soon as they can and that "hopefully my interests would be considered too."
I am not a person who has ever asked for help in my life. I am a person who helps other people, not a person who ever receives it or asks for it.
Thank you for reading this. Thank you for donating if you can. Thank you for sharing this if you do.
Much love to you all,
Coleen
