I quit in Jan. 2004 to do something different %26amp; eventually found a passion for art %26amp; interior design. I started taking college classes in both. By Oct. 2005,tho,he realized he had been scammed %26amp; had to shut down quickly. He didn't handle it well, left for Fla. to pursue his dreams(still not wkng), %26amp; left me to handle stuff alone(IRS,etc).I eventually ended up quitting classes,very depressed%26amp;immobile.

that is called life.





Some things you just have no control over. you need to hang in there and be strong. You may have lost $$$ but i hope you havent lost your sanity cuz thats too valuable to put a price on it.
I empathize with how you must be feeling at this time but if you keep strong and are determined to move forward you will find the help you seek. First course of action should be to do legal research in your area. There are sites available online for self help legal concerns that can give you idea. Next is support for yourself...a place to verbalize negative energy. This is also available online. Try www.selfhelpzone.com. Changes like this can be overwhelming but there is no reason to think you won't come out of this a stronger and more independent person. Keep going even when you think you can handle no more. I wish you well
Why is he responsible for your financial well being?
This is a very difficult situation,,,,, I would suggest that you consult a lawyer and file for bankruptcy, (you can still keep your house and car) First you need to get your self financially set then worry about the Husband/Ex-Husband situation Good Luck
You need to lessen your burden by letting the IRS go after him. It sounds too fishy to me. I bet he scammed you and the company and had this plan made all along!!





Be happy you have a roof over your head, have family and friends. I had 4 kids alone and made it with no roof!





Keep up the job hunt. Turn his asss in to IRS

Let him go. Don't focus on him or the past. You can only control yourself. Accept the situation you are in and work to change it. Bitching about it will not help you at all.





Look to the local United Way. They can point you to the right places for financial help. Medicaid, WIC etc. are all govt programs to help those in need. I had a friend on welfare for 2 years. She is now a successful pharmacists. Still a single mom but doing great.
File for divorce and turn him in to the irs and mostly every state has assistance for people that need it and you keep up with the job hunting and you said that you have 5 kids well i'm sure that you ask them for help and they did see if they will help you til you get on your feet. Good luck
