Starting LIFE OVER At Middle Age & Disabled

Hello,

To whom it may concern. (?) I apologize Ive never done anything like this before I just learned of this website but I thought what the heck I have nothing left to lose at this point.

I am reaching out for assistance today because I am at the lowest point I think I’ve EVER been in my 54 years of existence. I NEVER saw this coming, believe me!

I also am not sure WHICH category to put this in as it relates to SO MANY different types! But here’s the story:

For the most part I thought things were going pretty good over the years. I was with my wife for 33 years, we had two beautiful children & during the first half of their childhood we were doing well.

But then there came some addiction issues, which, hey who hasn’t had that right? Well for me it started from my chronic pain in my neck that nobody could figure out so they just kept me on Oxy. Long story short this progressed over the next few years until I/we finally got handle on it. So that’s GREAT!

HOWEVER – shortly after I was back on my feet I was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. I had NEVER EVEN HAD a surgery prior to this! Needless to say there were MANY surgeries to follow (& procedures) so NOW I am ‘disabled’ as they had to remove my larynx (voice box) to remove all of the tumor. So in the next couple years as I am trying to adjust to this new life I start having trouble swallowing & notice my neck is tilted more & more. After a lot of consultation it turns out I had contracted a SUPER DANGEROUS & RARE condition called Basilar Invagination.

So after YET ANOTHER HUGE long dangerous surgery to try to correct it, they were able to somewhat secure it but could not fix my head/neck angle.  It at least fixed the majority of the excruciating pain I was in, but I am NOW STUCK in this position  with a tilted head, a hole in my throat, sometimes struggling to breathe & STILL cannot eat whole foods. I am getting my nutrition from a g-tube, it’s been 3 years now since I’ve eaten real food! 😡 Not to mention ALL the little things I lost during all of this: the ability to smell, to cry, to laugh! Half of my body is numb – in the weirdest places!

Needless to say I cannot go back to working a ‘9-5’  I have been working my BUTT OFF to try to get an online affiliate marketing business off the ground but to avail as of yet – not one sale! Well at first I was FIGHTING my wife every step of the way because she didn’t believe in it – thought everything was a scam, wouldn’t let me spend ANY money on it.

Oh and also just as of last year my lovely wife decided she just couldn’t do it anymore! So now we are separated on our way to divorce & I am TRYING to figure out how to survive alone on JUST my meager disability check, all while trying to pay these outrageous medical bills  WHICH – since we split she lost her job & therefore I lost my health insurance coverage (was covered under her employer group plan). She ALSO had refused to help me pay down any of our credit card debt.  You see I had JUST paid off all our debt with an inheritance I received but SINCE THEN I got scammed (yes it’s true) & unfortunately most of that money came from that credit card.  So according to her – it’s ‘all mine’, even though she had used it plenty also! And in fact had used our OTHER card for her rent down payment for her new apartment when we split!

So ANYWAY as you can see I am left here, at 54 years old TRYING to rebuild my life as a disabled, single, BROKE man that is stuck staying with his 76 year old mother!!

NOT COOL!! If I could just get the debt paid off ($21K) and maybe a little capital for my business and a place to live I figure I MAY just have chance.  Oh because I’m ALSO trying desperately to get this business going because my son is also in a tight financial jam at the moment & I’m trying HARD to help him out of it as well. Because of the fact that I have guilt from everything I missed when they were teenagers

So there’s my SOB story for what it’s worth  But I mean I’m sure you hear them all the time all day long.

This is just a new concept for me and I am LITERALLY at the end of my rope so I figured – what can it hurt? 🤷

Thank you for listening! I appreciate you all! God bless.🙏
