A little bit about myself…
I am currently a single mother due to separation from my ex-husband of 16 years. Honestly it was the best decision that I could have made even though it put me in a difficult situation. He was very verbally mentally and emotionally abusive. He would call me names and gaslight me, manipulate me, and he used me in whatever way he could to get what he wanted. He was a liar and would always involve me in his lies which made it very difficult for me to have friends since he ran every single one of them off except for a very unhealthy friendship where him and her both ganged up on me to the little me so they could both control me to their own ends. The girl and him would act like they hated each other and put me in the middle of their arguments and make me choose sides not to mention they were having me steel for them so that they could get drugs and they got me involved in a very negative situation it was so bad that I ended up getting caught and going to jail for almost 2 years in which time neither one of them took responsibility for what they had done. Lucky for me or unlucky or however you want to look at it, I ended up being put into a program for behavior modification not to mention being put on medication to help stabilize my mood and my mental health due to the chemical imbalance and the negative treatment of the people in my life towards me.
Honestly this program saved my life I went from being depressed and tenant and unable to look anyone in the face, to being confident and strong enough to be able to take that negativity out of my life and finally leave my ex husband. It helped me get the help I needed to step forward in life rather than staying complacent. However once I got out of jail, he had caused himself such a serious infection, he had to be taken care of until h he was able to take care of himself. So I was stuck again..
When he got better, he went right back to using and I was done, I finally left.
The problem was that I now had to find a place to live with a job I could only work 1-2 days a week because of my mental health decline caused by my trauma. I was receiving disability and working some to try to get a place and pay my bills.
Since he had been primary tax payer for years, he filled and claimed our son this year and took all the money not to mention the child tax credit monthly… Or son doesn’t even live with him. He’s homeless right now because his parents won’t let him come back until he’s clean. He owned or son’s Nintendo switch and had the nerve to ask me and my family for money regularly…
Ok fast forward, I live alone in Radford and to pay the bills I picked up extra shifts. This caused me to go over the income limit for social security by 100 dollars the months in a year so they took away my social security. Now all I have is 2 days a week of work and waiting on my social security appeal.
I need help! I also have a 20 year old autistic son who is currently in college and lives with a friend and works with an occupational therapist. I help him as much as I can and pay his cell phone and bus fare but I’m crumbling… I don’t know what to do!
My rent is $750.00
My electric is 768 and is a month behind…
My car insurance is about to be cancelled and I owe so many court fines, they are starting to garnish me…
Please please help me!!! If you have a heart please. I would be happy to provide you any proof necessary and answer any questions you have. Thank you for taking time to read this and bless you all for being so generous and so amazing!
