Hi,
Where to start, I’m a single mom of 3 wonderful teens, trying to stay strong and hold the pieces together for them. I will admit, I cry myself to sleep every night, I worry how I will continue to provide for them?
I am an US Army Veteran and I’ve worked hard all my life to now have to struggle for reasons not of my doing.
How did I get here, good question. I’m also recently divorced! My ex spouse cheated on me for the last 2 years of our 20 yr marriage, asked for a divorce, made the 18 month long divorce painful and because I’ve always made more money, I’m the one carrying the full burden.
What do I mean by this? I’m trying to keep the home for my kids so it is less disruption for them while they finish HS. I’m having to give up 1/2 of my retirement that I’ve saved over 20′ years of our marriage, I’m still having to carry medical & dental coverage for the kids and on-top of all that, I still have to pay child support even though my ex has no bills, no mortgage as they are living back with their parents, they are getting a buy-out from me and 1/2 my retirement. The state laws are down right awful and do not take into consideration any leading factors.
The thing I’m worried about the most is paying my mortgage, I had to refinance for the buyout, while 350k is a-lot to ask for, I’m not expecting that full amount, but anything you can help with that I can put towards my mortgage is appreciated, my monthly payments are $2500.00 . Any and all donation will towards my mortgage ensuring my kids have a safe and warm place to sleep.
I appreciate you,
Thank you,
Single, Recently Divorced Mom
