My Husband Left Me

[Fadeaway]

He drained the bank account and left me. I don't know what to do. I have no money, no food, internet gets shut off tomorrow if not paid, I am out of my meds. I have no I.D. I don't know what to do. I have nowhere and no one to turn too.

I'm so sorry. I am here if you want, I have skype and a phone.

 

[Neverthesame]

Oh God that's awful. What the hell? Why would anyone do such a thing?

If you need to, you can go to hospital. They have your chart. If you are out meds and in crisis, which this must qualify. They can't turn you away.

Is this even legal? Anyone? Can she call police?

Omg!!! This really sad. I'm really sorry to hear this. Are there any facilities in US you can turn to? This is just not fair.

 

[Stickler]

Oh my god!

Um, Fade, I would call a women's shelter, see if they would take you in?
Also catholic charities or the united way might help.

 

[Fadeaway]

I have a roof over my head until at least the 1st, but I can't pay rent or cash my SSD check without an I.D. (troubling getting a birth certificate) and he is also the payee for that reason.

I should have seen it coming, he had been so mean lately. He has told me in the past that my he was going to leave when especially when I am super symptomatic, but usually the next day he is telling me he didn't mean it, that I get him too upset.

Happy f*cking birthday to me.

I'm so sorry fade, big hugs!!

 

[Neverthesame]

I don't know if this will be helpful without id. Could you do this?

If you are unable to manage your benefits

Sometimes people are unable to manage their money. When this happens, Social Security should be notified. The agency can arrange to send benefits to a relative or other person who agrees to use the money to take care of the person for whom the benefits are paid. The person who manages someone else's benefits is called a "representative payee." For more information, ask for A Guide For Representative Payees (Publication No. 05-10076).

I'm speechless, that is spousal abandonment in my state but the legal process will take time. I just don't know what to say.

 

[Mafia_Science]

I'm so sorry, fadeaway. I just don't know what to say. Just know that we're here

 

[Fadeaway]

Thanks all, I think I am in shock at numb now.

@Neverthesame I can get another payee they have people that do this, but I don't know how soon.

 

[Neverthesame]

Everything I been able to find out, is like Ed said. There is recourse, but it will take time.

I'm so sorry @Fadeaway.
