I am the single Dad of 3 great kids. My oldest is special needs and my other two are young. I have been self employed in the mortgage industry for the last several years in Michigan. I lost everything and find myself unable to support my kids(or myself). Although I am divorced, it was not of my choosing. My ex-wife had an affair, left me and was pregnant within 1 month of me moving out. I can now only have my kids half of the time. I was devastated. I adorded my wife and the thought of not seeing my kids everyday was heartbreaking. At that time I cursed God for taking kids away. How could he have let this happen? It has been 3 years since the start of her affair and my downword spiral. In my despair I have turned to God and asked for his help. And I have recieved it! Sometimes in small ways. Other times He has let me know that I can undure. That He has a plan for me. That He does care. He values my life when I didn't.
I am now in a situation where I have $200 to my name. I am buying groceries with that money today. I had no income for 2009 or 2010 and have borrowed as much as I could from family. I cannot recieve unemployment because I was self employed. I am 5 weeks behind on rent and I fear when my ex-wife finds out she will pursue custody of my kids. I cannot bear that and am asking for help. Please know that I am sincere. I have always been a very fortunate person in life and have never found myself in a situation quite like this. I have earned a very good income my whole life and just need some help getting back on my feet.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and may God bless you and yours.
