You are here

I woke up this morning to find my husband gone

TheSaneOne's picture

The account was overdrawn to the tune of $1400 and he left me here with all four kids. I called to see why he wasn't home and he said he forgot he had to do maintenance at work - he changed the password to the account thinking i couldn't check it and see just how bad it was so I called to inform him he did just that - then he admitted it - then i checked my email to find the dear john letter.

he even said in his email that he was leaving my son - the one that the adoption will be final on this month - he knew to leave him with me. Now I am left to clean up all this mess both financial and the emotional toll it took on me and will ne inflicted on them - the same man that just told my daughter that he was adopting that it was okay - she was scared he would leave like all the other "dads" (her birth father and her stepfather that was involved for a long time) and now he did just that.

he runs from his problems, i took him into m home a month before christmas two years ago - i loved him and my son and made sure my three new children all had a merry christmas, all on my dime and this is how i a repaid?

I told him I wasn't a problem that he could run from - he will pay restitution so to speak - as a matter of fact he isn't required to attend the adoption hearing, just me and my son.

Please pray for my family guys - this hurts, i am in shock. i knew our marriage was in trouble but i never thought he would walk out and leave me honestly penniless.

That is such a cowardly thing to do, and I'm sure you are devastated. And am I reading this right that he left his three bio children with you as well? So so sorry for you.

I'm so sorry to hear! what a looser, to do something like this to you... I'm furious for you. Clearly he doesn't deserve you! I know I would be devastated. Are his children going to continue living with you?

he left his bio-son, i have full legal cutody to him and his BM's rights were terminated. we have a hearing this month to finalize everything with the judge and get his birth certificate reissued. I have taken care of him for two years. His BM is a drug addict. mark has always had joint custody but i felt compelled to make sure i had legal rights to him in case something ever happened to my husband. my husband also adopted my bioson and the hearing to finanlize his adoption of my daughter is in october. her dad signed away his rights, now i guess i have to tell the judge to stop this unless my husband plans on paying support that i gave up for him because he wanted to be her father.

i am in total shock but i am leaning on God. He already sent a very dear friend my way this morning - the lady i am going to surrogate for . she said she hadn't paid her tithes and she felt she hadnt so that she could help. it hurts me on no end to take help from anyone - you see i am our friend that helps other people. i just went this weekend and bought school supplies for 5 kids - one a little girl who is in a bad situation that has been my "daughter" for a while. I found out this weekend that she told everyone at the church i was her mother. i want to help others but i honestly thank GOD for him today and for my friend. I was able to close the account from future damage, re-route my check and be able to get some groceries and gas until i get paid again.

i dont know what will happen with us - he has to understand that he made the choice to leave when i needed him the most and he has to accept what comes of that. part of me wants to give him a little cash to live off of - he will most likely be staying in his truck but i cant have him here when he took off and left - left me to deal with everything again. he choose to be gone when i got up this morning, he chose to lie to me. i have wanted to leave in the past but sometimes, as my friend put it, god breaks those chains that bind you when you can't break them yourself.

I'm speechless - total disbelief. Did he give a reason for this - not that there is one. I'm praying for you.

How awful for you. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need to talk. We all love you!

OMG. I am sooo sorry. That is just unimaginable.

You said you are the friend that normally does the helping.. Guess those friends that you have helped now have a way of thanking you themselves by helping you out.

I am so sorry.

TheSaneOne's picture

his reason was that he couldn't deal with what he had done and he couldn't face me and be there when i did find out how much was in the account. he just messaged me about why and how did i close it - he was trying to get money in there - meaning he was trying to get a payday loan - he needs to go open a checking account - i am NOT giving him the number.

Sorry you have to be hurt this way, I will be saying a prayer for you and your family tonight.

OMG--I am so sorry he chose to treat you and the kids this way. What a lousy human being. In the end, you and the kids will come out of this dark time stronger and happier without him.

Always look forward. *hugs!*

What a basterd! I'm glad you were able to freeze the account! You and your kids are in my prayers. If there is anything I can do I will.

He did you a favor. Don't feel bad about him sleeping in his truck or him not having money. He made his bed so let him sleep in it. I'm glad you have the kids though. They deserve better than to have a father like him.

I too told my dh last night.. He was shocked and surprised that a man would leave you like that and his child(ren) behind. I said, if it happened to me, I would hunt him down. DH said.. no worries, I know you would.

Seriously. If I am close to where you live, let me know and I will do anything I can to help you and your children.

What kind of person does something like this? WOW! What a jerk! How old is he? 14? How can you just abandon your family because of an overdrawn account? He really needs to grow up and be a man. {{{Hugs}}}
