Help a Pregnant Mother Overcome Unexpected Life Changes
Donation protected
I never thought I would be here - never thought this would be me. My heart has been completely ripped out of my chest and my life has taken a dramatic turn in a difficult direction. On Monday my husband asked me for a divorce and left.... leaving me to handle everything on my own. My children are devastated and I am 26 weeks pregnant with our third child. I still have a pregnancy to pay for, now major legal fees that I didn't plan for, and then the task of continuing to take care of my children and a new baby coming in November at which time I won't be able to work for a little while as I recover.
The weight of everything currently rests on my shoulders and I am trying to be strong and make the best plan that I can, but financially I am extremely overwhelmed trying to keep everything going. My parents are also financially affected by this. I know that this was never in his plan, but I believe the weight of the businesses and projects were just too overwhelming. I forgive him but it doesn't change the fact that I am here suffering because of it. For any of our friends reading this, I want you all to know that I believe that deep down he is truly a good person who is having a hard time right now. I am praying for his healing. I waited as long as I could to post this to see if the situation would change but it was reconfirmed to me yesterday that I am on my own with all of this. All of my rents are due and I have to make immediate financial decisions while dealing with all of this.
My children don't understand and I never wanted them to experience the trauma that they are going through now not knowing where their daddy is or why he left. I wanted a marriage that lasted a lifetime and I am struggling to cope with the feelings that come with the realization that this isn't going to happen for me. I am currently working on moving out of my house and taking as many steps in a forward direction as I can. I am extremely grateful to all of you for being here for me and appreciate anything that anyone could share to help me keep rolling forward. If anyone knows of any other resources that are available to me as well that could help me in this situation, please let me know. I believe that God is faithful and he will guide me through this but having a little bit of rest knowing that I have a little bumper right now would be so helpful. I haven't slept for days trying to process everything and make serious decisions. I have no idea where to even start with a fundraising goal but figured this was a good place to start. Thank you all for your love and support.
