Story

I’m 47 years old. I have struggled all of my life. I am a Breast Cancer survivor. After 22 years of marriage, i found out my husband was cheating on me. We divorced & the struggle got worse. He ended up marrying a friend of mine. He’s out there living his best life, while mine is getting worse. I have no family except my 3 grown kids. His family was my family. Since he got re-married, they’ve froze me out. I’m not invited to any holiday gatherings. It makes it hard to get through those days. I was living with my son & his family. They rent a home from ex father-in-law. He told them that i needed to find my own place. That really hurt me. So, now I’m living in an apartment with bedroom furniture and a TV. I have no living room furniture, so if you come over you’ll have to sit on the floor. I also live on the top floor. I don’t have any visitor for those 2 reasons. I do get to see 2 out of 3 grandbabies on the weekends, though. Getting my laundry done is very difficult because I don’t have a washer/dryer. My health is also not very good. I’ve got Crohn’s Disease and chronic migraines. My mental health is not great, either. I am depressed. My anxiety is throught the roof because of all the bills coming due. I just need a clean slate, to start over. I saw a lawyer about filing bankruptcy. He wants me to do Chapter 13, but I don’t know. I’m really nervous about that. I work my tail off. I’ve applied for a 2nd job at several places. I just need a little help.
