Hey guys, you may know me as the dad that has monetary problems. My ex abused my love for my children, while taking child support.
We are at the end of a two week possession, where she has left me wIth basically nothing. She used my accounts to pay for school registration, daycare... leaving me with less than $40.
I have to make rent this week, which I think I can do...but I just need help with groceries until Friday. I hate asking, and I would normally donate plasma for extra money...but I can't with this schedule.
EDIT: thank you everyone for boosting and helping out. I love all of you. I was able to get all the food I needed to make it through the weekend for my twins and cats. If any of you ever need anything with graphic design, please reach out.
You are not weak or lesser for asking for help, it takes enormous courage and humility to ask for help. You deserve to not have to struggle like this and I hope you have found some help here.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Other members have been a huge help. I kind of typed that right before bed last night in a really down moment. The past few years have been rough...and my health insurance did an awesome thing where they stopped covering a lot of my medicaion, which led me into a really bad depression along with intrusive thoughts for a bit. I scraped together enough for my meds, and I am slowly getting my mind right.
This place is seriously one of my favorite places to chat and shitpost, and I will be here until the end. The mutual aid is an amazing show of praxis and compassion, and I wish more people were able to see it. I was kind of let down, because I wanted to save up enough that I could help someone, but the financial body blows that I have been receiving have set that back...so I was just really bummed and sad.
