Support Keith and Lorelai's Fight for Stability

My name is Keith and this is my daughter Lorelai. We have been trying to build a life since I got out of the army, but my soon-to-be ex-wife won’t allow that to happen. Her abusive behavior has wreaked havoc on my health, both physical and mental, and has my daughter an anxious mess at this point with all of the conflict and uncertainty.

My ex has a felony domestic violence conviction for beating me earlier in our marriage with an unopened wine bottle to the point that I was hospitalized. The abuse didn’t stop there, though. When she realized that she gets in trouble for hitting me, she just changed it to emotional abuse and started using the police, courts, and anybody who would listen to try and destroy my reputation and cause problems for me in whatever way possible.

I need help in order to weather this storm and continue to provide properly for my daughter. We are almost at the end of the court proceedings, but it is just ramping up in intensity, and I am nearing having to declare bankruptcy due to the legal fees piling up and all of the extra expenses I’m having to cover due to her neglect of parental responsibilities. I am struggling to find the time to work right now because my child’s mother will not stick with any type of consistent schedule, and I am chronically missing days of work, having to reschedule appointments, and losing clients because of these problems month after month.

This is embarrassing to ask for help, but I have to admit I need help with this situation. The damage she is causing is too great for me to deal with alone, and it’s causing serious problems for both my daughter and me.
