[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you financially dependent due to illness? Is this new?

Regardless, he isn’t going to change.[/quote]

It sounds like she has no income and no health insurance without him.

The problem with a divorce now is that if they do divorce, she will be forced to get insurance on her own.  One concern is that if the Republicans regain control of the House, that they may be able to overturn the ACA.  Even if they don't overturn the entire thing, they may be able to eliminate the preexisting conditions clause and that could be disastrous for OP in trying to gain insurance of her own after a divorce.

None of this is a reason for her to put up with the BS that she is being shoveled, but I can certainly see why she feels trapped.[/quote]

OP, is this the case, and are you able to work (is your cancer in remission?)?

But as someone with a long-time serious health condition who left an abusive, likely NPD husband, I wouldn’t let “what ifs” about the ACA stop you. Even pre-Obamacare, as long as you maintained continuous coverage, your pre-existing conditions were covered.[/quote]

+1 on the above.  Also, in the short term, Obamacare/ACA provides some premium support for lower income levels.  And, if you really have no income (and child support doesn't count as "income"), you would be eligible for Medicaid.  It's worth checking by calling or going online to ACA.  Applying for health care doesn't mean that you have to buy it.  Also, since it's all online, you can run a variety of scenarios based on what you think your income could be if you divorce.
