He left yesterday. Left me with all of the bills and responsibilitites. Part of me is glad he is gone and the other part is scared of going through life alone. I am 26 years old. I have gained some weight throughout the marriage. I have had two children. We couldn't afford day care so I stayed home with the kids with the intent to go back to work when my son went to school. So, I opened up my business over the internet and actually, it did quite well. The day I got married, I got a settlement from a hospital because they sewed a lapsponge up in my abdomen when I had a c-section. He didnt have anything. I bought the house, the car, his truck, furnished the house. When that money ran out, I had some credit in my name and starting running up credit debt. Now, everyting is in my name and I am lost. I have $700 worth of bills due this week and nothing to pay them with. I dont want back in the welfare system. I finally got out of that and I dont want to go back. He developed a problem with drugs and I do not want my daughter around the drugs. She has not even mentioned him since he left. My son does not want him to ever come back. If I file for child support, he wont pay it anyway and I will be court ordered to let her see her Daddy. He took his son from a previous relationship to the dope dealers house. I just cant take that risk that my daughter will go with him next time. He never hit me the whole time he was screaming at me and packing his things. He has worked 4 days out of the last month and swore to me that I was lazy. His boss called today and said there was a problem with the books at his job and apparently he has been stealing from the company. All of this has come as quite a shock to me and I am not sure how to handle it. All I had was the money I had made at my profession on the internet and he DRAINED it yesterday. He took all of the money out of all of the accounts and ran off. WHAT DO I DO!! I am emotionally stunned!!!!!!<p>[This message has been edited by LonelyInTexas (edited July 13, 2000).]
