Dear Friends,
I am both humbled and personally embarrassed to share my painful story with you, however, I find myself in a dire place. My name is Michael B and I am a faithful servant of God. As a matter of background, I have had two long careers – first as a 30-year law enforcement professional (medically retired due to critical gunshot injury and 27 ensuing surgeries) in Houston, Texas, and second as a university professor teaching young students in Criminal Justice. I am now 67 years of age and find myself in an urgent financial bind. The reasons follow.
I was widowed in 2011 due to the loss of my wife’s battle with breast cancer. We spent all of our life’s savings on cancer treatments, therapies and drug trials. I live on my meager police pension, and very small Social Security benefits (small because I am in a pension system). I remained single and alone until 2022 when I remarried. I had prayed for many years for God to provide me with a good Christian wife. We were married for a little more than two years. Little did I realize that she was wearing a mask to hide the fact that she was a covert narcissist. Over the past 8 months, her true cruel nature began to surface. I learned of her many lies, deceit, cheating and stealing my money. On July 31, 2024, my wife secretly filed for divorce, all the while telling me that she would agree to seek counseling and to save our marriage. She simply left while I slept in the middle of the night with no discussion or any semblance of closure. I am an emotional wreck and her actions and treatment of me leave me feeling like a broken man. I am now what is referred to as a victim of narcissistic abuse. I was never previously aware of the depth and level of emotional trauma associated with the narcissist.
Yes, she actually stole my money and now I am in urgent need to get over the initial month or two to find solutions to pay my mortgage, utilities and the day to day bills. I simply have limited funds now and cannot afford to lose my home. Due to my disability, I have limited options. Therefore, I humbly ask for any financial assistance from you generous, kind, and understanding individuals that I have faith are in this world. I will thank you in advance, and leave you with my genuine promise that when I am in a better position, I will pay it forward – perhaps to another victim of narcissistic abuse.
Blessing to All,
Michael
