60-Year-Old Abused Homeless Disabled Divorcee Seeks Grant Money For Home

by Anonymous
(USA)

I am a 60-year-old woman. I was employed by one of the department stores. Last February I lost my job like many people.

My husband filed for divorce after 34 years of marriage. Now my problem is that I have no job and it is hard for me to find one because of my physical condition. I have severe osteoporosis.

I have no health insurance and no place to live. I left the house because I have no money to pay for the mortgage, so he is staying in till it is sold. When? I don't know.

The unemployment payment that I was living on is almost over. I used my 401K money to pay my lawyer for the divorce case.

This is my story. I don't know. Is it fair after all these years find myself in the street? I was a housewife most of our marriage. I started to work just the last nine years.

I raised three kids. I never asked for anything more than to live in dignity. He abused me physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I preferred to stay because of my kids and hoping that one day he would stop all of this.

But when he found that I have no more income, and that I was having health problems he kicked me out.

I know he has a lot of money but I have no proof where he put it. That's why I ended with nothing at this age. I have to ask for help from my kids or strangers.

This is my story. I don't know if there is help for me somewhere. If not, God is there. He won't forget anybody.

I wish that some day women won't suffer anymore from abusive husbands.

by: Anonymous

I am 60, married for 39 years, taking care of family and home life. Husband's business is commercial real estate which fluctuates. It has been on the down side, lately, but it could go back up at some point. He would like the divorce to go through quickly and agreeably. I'll have to wait to see what he is willing to settle with me for. We have one rental property. He has a drinking problem that he is in denial about, so doesn't feel as though he should get help. As a drinker, he also lies. He has yelled at me a couple of times, but nothing physical. This "gray divorce" is an epidemic, and is so very, very sad. If there's physical abuse, then a spouse should move on; but when a problem could be corrected to keep a family together, then that should be the course of action. I will have to seek employment in these difficult times which should prove interesting.

by: Anonymous

I am 56 and headed towards a divorce. Reading your story made me wonder if I face the same future. I am currently a fulltime caregiver for my mom who has dementia; so, I have no paying job at the moment. Possible chronic illnesses have not quite manifested themselves, but have had several scares. I too stayed for the kids' sake. I don't regret it; they are wonderful kids, but I am definitely concerned about my future. My marriage is over and he has moved on already into another relationship. I'm just waiting for my youngest child's wedding in July to file for the divorce. Thank you for posting your story, I wish I had an answer for both you and me.
