Hi! My name is Kattie and my daughter and I could really use some help. After 15 years of marriage, moving all over the US with him following work and opportunity, raising my kids together … he apparently had been miserable and he let me know he met someone and she made him happy and I did not. He left and pretty much moved into her place over an hour away … with the only vehicle … I am disabled and have been dependent on him for our entire marriage. But he took his role seriously . He worked very hard .. he provided and did the best he could. He always paid the main bills and I paid entertainment, internet, extras, and always helped cover the gaps for him somehow. When he left, he changed our whole world. My daughter is 20 and works and has had to step up and become a roommate and pretty much support us both. I don’t know many young adults these days who would step up how she has. She immediately started budgeting and preparing and helping me figure out groceries and how to get them and the bills paid.. because he left us with those all behind and due .. had to get new service and huge deposits with them… I do get disability money and I contribute my half of all I can. My mom has been amazing and helped whenever she can… We get a little over $100 for food help and I have Medicare for my health care needs. My ex and I thankfully were both on the lease. It is good till the end of June. At that time, my daughter and I need to move. If you know me, you know that life has been really, really hard for me. This is actually my 2nd failed marriage and 3rd major relationship. The middle one did not end nicely either, but my children and I suffered horrible and awful things during that time. My x was supposed to be it for me. No more pain and loss and abandonment …..but he gave it all to me and as horrible as possible ..I neeed support and . Most of our extended family lives in Texas. Although my daughter, my ex, and I have lived all over during her lifetime, she hasn’t spent as much time in Texas like her brother and I. She is willing to move to help support me and give up her friends and job here in OK. The guilt with that is crazy!!! I have constantly been moving my entire life. AND she really has been too.. we are sooo tired . Settling down is a dream we have never seen fulfilled. Maybe one day... But first, my daughter and I, our beloved animals, and the belongings we have held onto so hard over the last few years need to heal and be around people who love and support us. That requires moving somehow to Texas. I do not drive or have a car. My ex did all of that and my daughter is currently working on getting her license. My ex is not her biological father, but he met her when she was a little girl and stepped up and became the most amazing daddy to her .. our world revolved around her and he was in charge of our little world and it wasn’t always the best of places to be..during this time alone I have realized that I was not as happy either… I just never would have gone looking for someone else.. . But he left us high and dry and that makes moving on a little easier every day..:: so here we are..

we have no way of being able to accomplish our goals and move and eventually heal our very, very bruised and hurt hearts without help. I have started over so many times, but this is the first time I am doing so without young children to watch over and raise, and also I still had my health and strength all the times before. Now my pain limits me to very small amounts of ability at times .. some times I can’t even walk… but every day I’m going to keep getting up..

My son is older and is in Texas already working on his situation and bills and finding steady work so he, his sister, and I can hopefully find a little rent house that allows animals and we can all afford. That means my daughter will need to find something awesome as a job as well. This is so hard asking for help. I have been homeless before, more than once, and that is just not something I can handle ever again. My daughter and I do not deserve how this was done to us, and we do not deserve to lose everything just because he wanted to be happy and did all of this wrong … I have been hardly holding on as it is. Without the love, support, and care from my friends and family from all over the country checking on us, sitting on the phone with me for hours, listening and loving me through it all, I don't know if I would be functioning very well at all… if I am…. . Someone suggested that I make one of these Gofundmes. We just have too much coming for us now and we can not afford it .. so my friends said that I have always done whatever I could for others and I have tried to only put out good karma and love. So I should try… it can’t hurt. I guess I also need a divorce … I am praying we can make this work all together. Thank you for reading this far! I'm happy to share any stories or answer questions. I have friends coming up and we plan on doing a garage sale for everything we don't need, and everything donated here would go into preparing for the move, getting animals all seen and checked and healthy for the move, and also the moving truck and gas, hopefully moving into a new place and able to pay whatever fees and deposits for it all , the rest to who ever could help, and whatever else life throws our way. I know that emotionally we are exhausted, and maybe a little bent, but we are not broken. Not yet. We just need a chance... and a little help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and please share!
