Hi, where to start, well, I just turned 61 April 24th. I’ve been married the last 20 years to a man who is an alcoholic. We relocated from Nevada to Washington 13 years ago due to my husband’s job. Before moving we both had great jobs and financially the two of us brought home pretty good pay checks 2 years ago I became very sick. Sicker than I had ever been in my life. Constantly in the worst pain I have ever felt. I went to the hospital where the told me they could find nothing wrong. I was told to pick a primary Doctor who could investigate what was wrong. Upon meeting her for the first time she proceeded to ask the normal health questions, in which I told the truth of course which included my drug use 19 years ago of Meth. I figured she should know my full history if we’re gonna find out exactly what’s wrong with me. Bad mistake! She instantly formed an opinion of me saying she thinks I’m an opiate abuser and refused to give me any pain meds after that! Doctor’s kept telling me they couldn’t find anything wrong for me to be in such awful pain. There were actually 2 different times I thought about taking my own life due to the horrible pain I had 24 hours a day, I barely slept. Test after test, doctor after doctor No diagnosis. Then one day the pain was so so bad I had my husband take me to the hospital in Spokane. The doctor I saw ran 2 test and came back 30 minutes later saying they were admitting me. I had numerous blood clots in my right lung and one huge clot as well which could kill me at any moment! But he said those have nothing to do with the severe pain I was having. Also in 4 months time I had lost 110 lbs. I looked like I was dying. They sent my husband home and immediately gave me a shot of morphine to relieve my pain. Then he asked me ” Could it be possible someone in your home could be poisoning you?” I said oh no that’s silly! But after I was finally released to go home I started noticing things that didn’t seem right. So I posted what the doctor had asked me on facebook, within minutes my husband kicked open the bedroom door and said ” well? Are you dead yet!” I never accused him but he sure acted like I did. He said he was leaving me cause he couldn’t deal with me being so sick 24/7. The one thing I noticed was he had already packed everything he wanted to take way before this. So I called the banks and he had taken every penny out of our accounts and now had it all in accounts with just his name only.. I then found an email he had recently created and managed to get into it and the only correspondence it contained was regarding life insurance policies on me. Also at this point of my illness I had to be pushed in a wheel chair because I could barely walk at all. He had been planning this for a while. He left with everything. Leaving me nothing. He makes over $10,000 a month on his job and I get nothing. I can’t find an attorney cause they all want a retainer up front then the can request him to pay my legal fees. I have spent the last year trying to even find a ProBono attorney and there are none even in the surrounding cities. No legal aid as well. I now live in subsidized housing and only receive food stamps. I ask him for help and he says to sign the divorce papers saying I want nothing and he’ll help me then! I have valuable antiques in a storage we’ve had the last 10 yrs that he cut the locks and refuses to let me have access to it unless I sign the papers. I need an attorney! The minimum retainer I found was $2000. I have absolutely no income currently and not quite able to work just yet. My truck has ran out of gas 3 times leaving me stranded thanks to him cancelling our roadside assistance I had on the truck. I can’t afford gas. They don’t have a full transit system where I live as well, I didn’t mention that the subsidized housing I was able to get into is 40 miles away from where we lived in the city. So to get to my doctor’s and back home again costs me $40 round trip with gas so high. All my family members have all passed so I literally have no one to offer any kind of support financially or otherwise. But with a good attorney I will be able to get Spousal maintenance and he will be in contempt of court for not assisting with any kind of support since leaving. I just need help with day to day items like laundry soap or quarters to even do laundry. Toilet paper even, these are the necessities I can’t even buy. I’m hoping finding this web site will be my twist of fait and someone will be gracious enough to help me. I don’t know where else to turn.. Thanks so much for reading. 🌺
