[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your STBX was emotionally abusive and financially controlling and he texted other women. When you told him you were taking the kids and moving home he sold your BMW. Remember, that’s why you left him.

OP’s mom doesn’t think OP should have left her emotionally abusive marriage. OP’s mom invited the STBX to visit the family beach house with the kids last summer, and OP has been at odds with him mom ever since.

OP has only been in Western MD for a year or so, and has struggled since she arrived. She was waitressing for awhile, and late last year, she considered working as a stripper to make ends meet.[/quote]

I was a bar manager, and yes, I did consider stripping. I then worked in my field of study (marketing) but my position was eliminated.

My STBX never passes up an opportunity to prove me wrong, ridicule/insult me, and this is why I hate asking him for money above the CS order. He told me my inability to pay bills was not his problem - true, but I'm caring for our kids and hoped he would have some heart. I wasn't asking him for money until now - I was using a CC. Now that my CCs are maxed out I have few options.

I have a used laptop and printer that I'll look into selling. I will get my ring appraised this week and hopefully sell it as well. I am still trying to put rent together for this month (have been on time every month until now and my landlord is understanding, thank goodness), and also have to start paying my water bill this week or my water will be cut off.

For PPs who are ridiculing my not asking family for money. Technically, yes, I can ask, but I don't have close relationships with my family and we just don't share an ethos of togetherness. It's a "you're on your own" kind of family.

But I am doing my best, believe me, and keeping my chin up, applying for jobs every day and trying to maintain a positive, hopeful mind set. It's all I can do. [/quote]
