I am at a loss. I was married for 28 years and divorced 2 years ago. I had spent the last 4 of those years traveling 1000 miles back and forth from my home to my mothers. She has been a cancer patient for the last 6 years now. My Ex had promised to move the family back to the state my mom lives in to help with her care. He moved me into a house, in which he rented and he moved me down and paid for the set up and everything. Then he filed divorce against me for desertion. He had a girl friend that I didn't know about, and apparently needed me out of the way. Well due to the lack of money and a "good" attorney, I got screwed out of what I was due according to the states law, and my Ex was able to get his files and info sealed from disclosure. I have no skills inwhich to get a job, nor do I have any knowledge of financial responsibility. Everything was always taken care of by my ex. I didn,t know what we had or what came in or what went out.
I thought I could make it on my own. Why not everybody else does it. I met a nice guy and all was going well again for me for a while. We were going to get married. Then He disappeared. No contact. no info, all previous info and contact availability was gone. No family contact, nothing. as if he or his family never existed. How is that possible?
He took what little money I had, ran up all of my credit cards took out loans in my name on line. He has ruined me mentally and financially. I am about to loose my home, my vehicle and my life. I owe more than anything is worth. I am stuck living in an area where there are 9500 people in the county and only 4500 jobs. My mother cann't help, she's on retirement, and she is in failing health from lung cancer.
I have looked for work of any kind, in the area. All I hear is , you have no expierence. The closest larger city is 32 miles away. I might find something there, but the gas prices keep me in my own town. My only transportation is a van. So, all of my trips to town are planned to keep gas usage at a minimum. I tried trading my van in on a smaller and more econimical vehicle. But no matter what vehicle I looked at, The company's I was dealing with always wanted a cash payment. Even if my van was worth more than the vehicle I was looking at. In other words " no cash no deal" I don't know what to do.
I don't have any family or friends that can help. I have tried. I used to do volunteer Health care work. But that doesn't pay or help me now that I need the help. I haven't been able to get a job in that field either, because of " no education".
I need help! I am so lost.
I'll go to school, I'll learn to do what i need to in order to make everything right.
I just don't know hwere to turn or how to get out of this problem.
If you can advise or assist or both I would be grateful.
