Monnie,
I know I don't really know you but I've been reading your blog for a long time and have even spoken to you on the phone before and I know that you are a good, honest person with a kind heart.
I'm going through a divorce right now and it is really kicking my behind. I'm so messed up.
He left my son and I in a dangerous situation in a neighborhood with drug dealers in front of our home while he sleeps elsewhere. He ignores my texts and calls.
He is trying to take my house from me which was willed to my siblings and I, but my husband and I took a mortgage out on it and bought them out. In that process, I put him on the deed. I took all my money, rolled it into the renovation... long story short, he half demoed the house and stopped the renovation...stopped paying the mortgage, has liens pending on the house due to non payment of utilities.
I'm tied up financially trying to pay lawyers to fight him, keep my home and our son.
My father took my son and I in until this is sorted out. I'm sorry to vent this mess to you and don't know what I expect you to say.
I see how you were able to dig yourself up and into a good life and I'm asking you, how do I go on from here?
Thank you for anything you have to say Monnie.
I don't know what to do.
What advice would YOU share? I've shared with her my point of view and am curious as to anything you guys could say that would help as well...ESPECIALLY those of you who know legalities and whatnot.
