I am in Redmond Oregon and it is true that this is a roller coaster ride from hell.
My stbx left me and the kids in April after 25 years. He has not supported us in and I am drowning in debt and exhausted from working too much to try to make up for an income being lost.
He has done everything possible to defame me in every way, from the court documents to what used to be a good relationship with his family. He is also doing whatever he can to destroy me financially.
This is so hard because I never saw my ex to be the monster he now is being and the pain is beyond description.
I am glad I found this forum and hopefully can connect with others here.
I go to a great church and have good support from friends and pastors there but most days I feel so alone and ashamed of the situation I am in after a quarter of a century of marriage. I am looking forward to the day when the divorce decree is final and I can move forward with my life.
