I’m not sure where to start. I’ve never had to ask anybody for anything, not even my own family. I have always worked for everything I’ve ever had. I feel so wrong doing this now, but I’m the lowest I’ve ever been in my entire life.
Let me start off by saying my mom has always been the type of woman that has to have a man. My dad died when I was 13. My mom’s 1st boyfriend that she left for my dad showed up 6 months after my dad died. At 15 years old she gave me keys to a car and said get a job and she left me at my house we had with my dad and went to stay at her boyfriend’s house.
I will never forget the day this person said any of y’all’s 3 vehicles could break down, y’all will have the best Christmas, for our daughter, a really good vacation, and still have money left over. To myself I was thinking man after all the struggling we finally have made it ahead. But I still had a funny feeling. So 3 weeks later I lost my job.
This was just the 1st thing that made me lose myself. Long story short I gave everything to this job. I mean almost losing my husband in the process. But this man was selfish. I should’ve listened to the office manager. The other employees put me through hell and back because I moved up so quickly. I always felt like I had something to prove. I was told he will throw you under the bus. And he did just that. I felt so dumb and stupid.
This was the end of 2019 and 2 weeks before Christmas my husband asked this person for some money out of the savings to get some presents for our daughter and they said it was gone. Exact words where I paid all your bills there is nothing left. My husband let it slide because they then said well there is $175.00 dollars left. He just thought they were trying to help us not spend everything.
Let’s fast forward, my office manager sent me my last paycheck for 80 hours and my vacation for 80 hours, it was almost $3000.00 dollars. So I went to Walmart to get our daughter some shoes and some food. And the card declined. So this person empties the bank account and closes it.
This person is trusted by everyone. No one believes that this has happened to us. Not even my mom who raised me knows me. But my step father has passed away and she is now with another man who is evil in every way. This person is telling my husband that I have a spending problem but I don’t even have a card to my account. And she is telling me my husband has a spending problem for his truck. I guess she never thought me and my husband would talk.
The person is my mother in law. Now it’s 2020 and COVID has everything on lockdown. My daughter is virtual and it was the 1st time in her life I was ever home with her. There is a law in place that you can’t kick people out. Well, my landlord didn’t care. He cut our water off 1st. Then climbed under my trailer and cut the electricity off. We stayed there for almost 2 months. Hoping my mother in law would give us back the money.
She never did. After having nothing but time on my hands and living in my truck since April of 2020 we sat down and really looked at how much she took. It was over $15,000 dollars. I was making $16 to $18 dollars per hour, my husband was making $15 to $17 per hour and he had a grass cutting business.
So my daughter is now staying at my mom’s house. I would rather her not suffer like we are. My mother in law even was taking money from my husband claiming she was paying the truck note. He didn’t wanna believe me. Well she wasn’t paying it. It was taking a toll living out of our vehicle 2 weeks after he finally lost his job she had our truck repossessed.
So now we are living in our 2004 Dodge Durango, with no air or heater. It is completely illegal right now. We don’t have tags on it or insurance. We live in the deep south the heat is killer and with no air I swear some days we feel like we are gonna die. It sucks because my daughter resents everyone because they just sat there and watched everything happen to us.
The one right thing we did was raise our daughter correctly. She is now 10 years old, almost 11. She doesn’t lie and is such a sweet hearted girl. Scares me so much because this world is so evil it will chew her up and spit her out. We go a week sometimes 2 without seeing her because my mom blames everything that happens on me.
My mom’s talks bad about me and my husband in front of my daughter and it hurts her so much because she knows that we are not what everyone says about us. We brought her a phone so we could contact her but now the phone has been shut off for over a month. The only thing we have left is what is in our truck.
I just don’t get it. We had 2 storage units that our family didn’t tell us until the last minute that they would be sold. We moved out at 17 years old and have never asked anyone for anything. And our family will not help us in any way.
Any help would do. We haven’t seen or talked to our daughter in 9 days. Our phone is $111.00 I have a picture of that. We would love to have a conversation with her or be able to spend the night or a couple of days at a hotel with her. We miss her so much. My husband and I haven’t eaten in 3 days so any money for food. And with how hot it is we would love to buy one of those portable plug less ac units off Amazon so we could stop sweating to death. We have found so many places to live but to get 1500 to 1800 dollars feels and seems almost impossible. We just need any help we would greatly appreciate anything at all. We are sitting in Walmart parking lot using their wifi writing this sweating our butts off.
