My husband and I married in 2010. I left my husband recently because he cheated on me. We have been married off and on for 13 years. He insisted that we get a divorce in 2017 because he said his business was going to have to file bankruptcy. His company never filed bankruptcy. He has also been emotionally abusive for several years. He has had me move several times to suit his business. I gave up an excellent job to move to Missouri in 2013. I had no friends or family out there. He secluded me from everyone. We moved back to SC in 2016. When we/he bought a new house in 2019 he refused to put me on the deed. He said we weren’t technically married then. We remarried in 2021. He still wouldn’t put me on the house even though I had spent thousands of dollars from my previous marriage to remodel this house. A friend agreed to let me rent her townhouse in another town. I had gotten a job here, but I got fired last week. I have no savings. I get no spousal support. My husband still lives in the house we had together. He doesn’t want to sell it. I am now on the deed but feel like I don’t have a leg to stand on. I was hoping we could go to counseling and mend our marriage. He refuses to go to counseling. I have been mentally abused for years. I needed a mental break and counseling for myself to be able to stand on my own. I am lost and alone now. I have no friends or family here. I am at a loss for what to do. I have no where to go.
I was married before for 25 years. I had 3 children with my ex husband. When I left him, he tried to turn all of my children against me and was almost successful. I now have 7 grandchildren whom I hardly get to see. The relationship is still very strained because of the past. I have gone to counseling and been in the hospital several times because I have felt so destitute. I don’t know how to keep going. I have tried very hard to be a loving, caring person for my whole life.
