Re: Hubby changing his mind and making me sick
MS, there are more options open to you than homeless shelters. You can receive welfare benefits and very possibly also Social Security disability benefits if you qualify for it. If you receive welfare benefits, they will also help you either find employment or schooling, It isnt a fun thing to be on welfare but it can help you get on your feet so to speak, with enough money to have a small apartment, groceries etc. THIS is what the welfare system was put in place for! And when its used in cases like yours, I dont mind paying so much in taxes!
Sorry to say it but your marriage is really a train wreck and is doing nothing but making you feel like an indebted, indentured servant. If you already have an attorney, you should speak to him/her about all of the options that you have, ask about what kind of financial support and educational support you could receive etc. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised to see that you WOULD be able to make it on your own - even now.
Best of luck to you.
