I feel as if I have finally been beaten. I need help, I just left my husband of six years. We both had substance abuse problems. I got sober (as of Sep.17th of 2008) and he remained an addict. Our marriage, as you all can imagine, was a web of violence, mental abuse and control. I left the marriage for good on a cold, rainy night two weeks ago on December 18th. Unfortunately, along with striving for sobriety I also suffer from Bi-Polar depresson. I am currently filing for SSDisibality. I have never been able to hold a job. I have crushing episodes of depression and during these episodes, I have trouble getting out of bed, I isolate myself from friends and family, and sometimes I have to be hospitalized.
Because of these circumstances, and the fact that my estranged husband was the only breadwinner, I need desperate help paying my bills and supporting my family. I have two beautiful daughters whom need me to provide for them right now. Christmas did not work out well for them and the atmosphere at my house is caotic because we had to move in with my best friend who is a single mother of three! Five kids two adults and two dogs in a three bedroom one bath house.
Please, I am begging, for anything. No matter how small.
