Love Is Dead, But These Legal Fees Are Very Much Alive

Hello friends, strangers, and kind souls alike,

After years of giving it my all (and then some), I’ve decided it’s time to choose me. Not in a vague “treat yourself” way but in a “hire-a-lawyer-and-get-a-divorce" way.

Unfortunately, freedom isn't free and apparently, it comes with paperwork, court dates, and lawyer fees.

I'm not asking for a yacht (unless you're offering), just a little help to cover:

Legal fees

Filing costs

And Emergency chocolate & coffee fund (you know this is necessary)

This isn't about revenge — it's about rebuilding. It's about choosing connection over loneliness, joy over just-getting-by, and maybe one day... rest.

Every dollar helps. Every share helps. Truly, every dollar gets me one step closer to freedom and a fresh start.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and helping with my great escape.

With gratitude and grit

Shannon
