I have to live with my former same s** spouse because she intends to use the unfairness of the law to screw me in a divorce. She’s addicted to spending, legal and illeagal drugs, and eating. After years of taking care of the kids, all the house work, yard work, and cooking, I stand to have none of the financial protections I would have in a heterosexual divorce.
So now I work, go to school, and take care of the kids until I graduate and can financially support myself and my kids. She’s cut me off financially and I live like a slave. I still have to take care of the kids, cook, and clean, but have very little income from my part time job to pay for school, gas, food and personal items for myself. I’ve lost weight because I don’t have enough money to feed myself. I eat dinner with the family because I prepared it.
I have this fantasy that one morning I’ll wake up and she will have died in her sleep. Or I fantasize that the publisher’s clearing house van will drive up for me.
I’ve tried going on strike to get her to pay me for all the work I do and she repeatedly threatened to kick me out.
The day will come when I can leave and use what means I have to try to get what’s fair. until then I work, study, and fantasize.
