Blindsided after 38 years married, my son and I need help
Donation protected
Hi everybody.
Today, I find myself in a position that I never in a million years would have ever thought I would be in.
A little something about me personally...
I had been with my husband for 38 years, married for 36 of those years.
I have one son, who is the joy in my heart and what I get up every day for.
I am a 2x breast cancer survivor, and all that goes with that. I never missed one day dropping my son off at school or picking him up.
That was a long time ago.
I have been a preschool teacher for 19 years, mostly in this community.
I have always loved my kids and their families.
I shared that to show that I am strong and do not give up.
I do, however, need a lot of help right now, and it is killing me to put this out there for the world to see.
My husband completely blindsided me about 2 weeks ago, and I have been in disbelief ever since.
Out of nowhere, he told me that he is 100% done and has moved on.
No warning, completely shocked me.
He met someone and has "deep feelings" for her.
Left me with no car for 18 hours the day before last, while he stayed at her house.
Don't know who she is and don't care.
We have been struggling with finances for a long time.
I need to protect my son and me.
I need to ensure we will have a place to live and get settled into what our new life will be.
The unknown is very, very scary to us both.
Treated this way from a life partner, after 38 years and all that goes into a marriage and family during all those years.
Thank you all for listening, and God bless you and your families.
