In reply to AuntieMel et al, I need some advice..., posted by sunny10 on March 24, 2005, at 9:46:23
Sunny,
I am sorry you are going through such a difficult and trying time. I don't know if such a thing exists in the state or city you live in, but perhaps you try to find out if there is an organization that provides advice and support to women in need (a Women's Credit Union, which we have where I live or a Women's Support Network). What I am thinking about is being able to get free financial and other advice specifically geared toward women in similar situations. I don't know if what I am saying makes any sense. Anyway, perhaps what you can also look at doing is putting your savings in some kind of a short-term trust in your son's name, that you can access when the time comes that you need it. Also, I know financially you have said you can not afford the place where you live on your own, but could you try to find a reliable roommate who would share half of the expenses so that you can ask your boyfriend to move out, if that is what you want to do. Just a few ideas FWIW.
My thoughts are with you Sunny.
Tamara
