Dearest DC, You have our deepest concern and willingness to help in anyway we can. On your last question, you might call social services, and ask them what you should bring. Write down everything to bring. In fact, go back to the day he left, save the note and write down what happens each day and the date and time. Besides opening your own checking account, you no doubt have a joint checking account, maybe savings account. You can withdraw 50% less one penney from each of those accounts and put in your new personnal account. Do you have joint taxes due in April? Property Taxes due? Ask your attorney what to get your name off of, so you aren't stuck with the bill when, in truth, you both are probably accoutable.Of course, you will pay your part, but his actions and your disability may alter the percentages according to the law. Anybody that does this type of behavior, you can not trust, no matter how you feel. All the rules change. Please look out after yourself. Does he have a good job? Your attorney can direct you in what you can do. If you are not on disability and disability insurance, you need that as soon as possible. Have you received an inheritance that you spent on joint matters? Make sure you write all down.
I read all the other posts, and am glad you are getting support.Please know you are in our prayers. Your attorney will help you use his criminal act toward your good welfare. I'm so very sorry. You might want to call you Dr. and let him know what is happening in your life. You may need to up your meds temporarily. I lost a dear friend, Like a son to me. in a car wreck, and had to up my meds for a while. As you know, emotional pain directly affects our physical health
Back in the 80's when my parents died, I went into counseling and found journaling very helpful. We tend to put off crying etc. but it is emotionally healthy to go thru the grieving process YOU WILL BE OK! Meditation, Bible Reading, Prayer, Stretching, Taking Time Each Day For ourselves help us get thru tragic events. Please know we all care for you ,loretta with soft hugs
