Hi everyone if you go to the kakeladi-let's help her out thread here in the lounge there is already a collection getting started. If you'd like to help out, please post it there so it's easier to keep track of.

I would chip in too.

I can tell you (yeah-past expierance - but ALOT of lessons!) that he can NOT leave you destitute!
Go straight to ANY divorce attorney - and with you being on SS they WILL collect their $$$ from HIM .. they put it all nicely in their paper-work ... so that will be a load off .. also with you NOT working X amount of years - he WILL have to pay you alimony! Maybe just a year maybe longer BUT he will have to pay - that will help out!
What you gotta do know is take a DEEP breath ... say a prayer and listen to what HE says ... then look AHEAD not back ... make a list of what HAS to be done in order for you to survice .. then map that plan out one day at a time!! Maybe take a roommate .. or whatever you need to do .. Its NOT gonna be easy, but I do believe .. He GOD brought you to it .. then GOD will bring you thru it .. Keep the faith .. and if THATS all you can do this hour .. then just do that
I along with the others WILL be praying for you!

Lynne. God bless you and watch over you. Hope you stay online...

Lynne, I am so sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through, especially after this many years of marriage. I'll be praying for you.

Lynne,

I've only been a CCer for a relatively short time, but you've always been so kind and such a big help. Why, just a few days ago, you pmed me with some great decorating advice. I appreciate you very much!

First of all, stay on CC with the help that's being offered. Second of all, be willing to ask for whatever you need, spiritual or monetary support -- we're all here for you. Last but not least, even though things may be tough in the weeks and months ahead, know that you'll be better off without him in the long run.

You're in my prayers!

Julie

I have an extra wireless card and will be happy to ship it to you!

My prayers are with you in your time of need. Keep strong! Even though the light at the end of the tunnel seems far away, God will pull you through.

Hugs

Lynne-PLEASE go and see a lawyer. You need to DO THIS. You can't let go of everything you have built all your life, I remember pm'ing with you about the RV experience and I know now you must have done that just to keep him with you and happy. God bless you and give you the strength and sense to not give in, dont crumble for you will regret not getting your due right when it is too late. Please, please see a lawyer-they can do alot more than we give them credit for. If you need help finding one in your area I can research on the net and reccomend someone. God bless and BIG hugs. Love.

I am so sorry to hear this. You deserve better than that.

My FIL is a lawyer/judge so I mentioned this "hypothetically" and he agreed you should speak to someone. There are lawyers out there that will work with people with little or no income, so hopefully you can find one in your area that will work for you.

I will be thinking of you and I hope things turn around for you.
I wish you the very best of luck.

Im really sorry to hear this. After almost 50 years! I cant even begin to think how you must be feeling. I dont think he should be aloud to leave you with nothing after 50 years. I will pray for you! God will take care of you.

I thought only young couples did stupied things like this. My daughter-in-law decided she wanted her freedom and is in the process of leaving my son. Granted, I know he has his faults as well. Two young children involved. I just want to SCREAM!

I am so very sorry you are going through this and my heart hurts for all having to endure this pain. You are not alone, never. We just don't know that a lot of people are feeling the same kind of pain.

Hugs and lots of prayers for you.
