I have a friend (oh I know who'd have thunk it) No really. I only met her six months ago and she is lovely. Right now, I am so worried about her. She was bullied for years by her ex husband. He served her with divorce papers 10 years ago knowing she couldn't afford a lawyer (she was £500 short of being on legal aid). So he took the kids and gave her access two nights a week. Then she met a guy who was "seperated" yeah, I know. They lived together for a couple of years. Rented a big house where his and her kids could come and stay, and then. Once he was over his mid life crisis he went back to his wife.
So he left her in a 3 bed house she couldn't afford, and with loads of bills she couldn't afford without a care.
Today, I received a text from her. In December her car way ceased by the police because she could not afford the tax. Just before Christmas. Lovely!!! Her temping job ran out on Christmas eve. Yesterday her current boyfriend dumped her, and today she received a letter to tell her that she had one month to get out of her house (behind with the rent). She is worried about losing the kids for ever.... I texted her for a couple of hours this morning and thought she felt better. I gave her some numbers to call.
But this evening, she isn't answering her phone. She doesn't reply to text messages and I can't get hold of her.
I would drive to see her if my car wasn't also repossessed.
So I am worried.
Really worried.
She is lovely,
To compound the worry, my Mum (bless her) committed suicide when I was only nine years old.
I know her kids would sleep in sleeping bags on the floor just to be near her and I want to tell her that. But she won't answer her phone.
I know you guys can't help, but I wish to Gawd I could......................
