Well, I learned today that the separation agreement is on the verge of settled. He has signed his end. It will still be a few weeks before I get any money. But, finally I can almost feel the weight lifting off my shoulders. I can pay off these debts that I incurred just leaving him. I can start to breathe again. Before I left him, and before I even had the idea of leaving .. he said *If you ever leave me, I will make it so any money you get will be wasted on lawyers* After I left him, he said *I am going to file bankruptcy or curl up in a ball and give up. No one will get anything out of me* In between he said *kiss your life as you know it goodbye. You will be poor and I will make sure you have nothing*. Of course, the very next day he might say anything else ..like *It's all ours to share sweetie..I don't know why you worry about that* .. as if he had never threatened me. I had to hire a lawyer and I have no money at all. it has been a huge stressor. $300 per hour. Nice. |
"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
