<div>Hi! My name is Tania. Never in my wildest dreams I thought I would end up in this position and I still can't believe I'm writing these words...
</div>
<div>In 2022 after getting a divorce I moved away from my ex husband to live on my own and my dog. For the most part life was quiet and I had a nice little routine a stable job and strong mental health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But everything changed after I met someone towards the end of 2022... It was a very charming person with a strong personality, good taste in things and everything started like a dream come true: flowers, attention, lots of love and affection... This is all I wanted after a divorce.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The person has a child and was struggling with housing for a little bit but seemed like had a stable job. I gave them a chance to live with me for a little before they find a permanent placement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My ex partner lost his job, wasn't able to get one for a long time, had a few surgeries along the way. I was trying to support them both on a $95,000 salary paying all the bills including monthly: $3,000 rent for a 1 br apartment, groceries, around $200 electricity, $50 internet etc,etc. I was still patient and trying my best to help. After a few months he still was not able to find the job but promised every single day the opportunity was coming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After he found a job we upgraded to a larger apartment in the same apartment complex that had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at whopping $4,375 + additional costs mentioned above.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I lost my job one week after we moved but he promised he'd cover the bills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And that's when things started to go south...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He always been a jealous person but after I lost my job things started to go very far. He started demanding physical contact, not letting me see my friends and I found myself laying in bed in a deep state of depression and all he would say coming back is "stop feeling pity for yourself, get up and do things...", while I couldn't even move a toe, I was so devastated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He said he re-routed all of his paychecks to his friends account and he won't be paying rent until I "get better". At that time I was on unemployment benefits and got $550 weekly that didn't cover the rent, only the basics...I blew up all of my savings to pay for the apartment when he was using up my credit cards which I kept freezing. I was going deeper in debt while he was living his lavish life out there, at my expense I was mute and devastated looking for a job that took 4 months to find and I took a big pay cut.
</div>
<div>I was thinking of evicting them from my apartment and moving away because I was the only one on the lease but according to the Tenant Protection Laws of New York they were entitled to this space. And that's when the violence started... I was oftentimes beaten up, threatened, my belongings got thrown out or broken (they both had nothing but clothes and I bought all the furniture for them) and I had thoughts about committing suicide at least 5 times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Later I found out he had multiple court cases with landlords for nonpayment and lived with multiple women at their expense...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then I couldn't pay rent anymore - my credit cards got maxed out, my savings were zero and my salary after taxes didn't cover the full rent, he didn't pay the rent either and refused. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The threats and physical violence (including two cases of rape) continued. He made it clear to me that if I move, something bad will happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I moved out eventually on March 29 2025 as soon as I could using everything I have saved to the cheapest place I could find.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I owe a tremendous credit card debt and currently working with the consolidation firm to at least lower the fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don't qualify for bankruptcy because I make slightly over the minimum wage...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>TLDR</strong>:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a divorce, I built a stable life—until I let a charming man and his child move in temporarily. He lost his job, and I supported us all on my income. When I lost my job, he refused to help financially, rerouted his paychecks, used my credit cards, and became controlling and abusive. I fell into debt trying to cover $4,375 rent, maxed out my cards, and was physically and emotionally harmed. Eventually, I escaped, but now I have over $40K in credit card debt. I’m desperate for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All the funds will be used to cover the debt...
</div>
