I never thought I\u2019d be writing for advice, but here I am, completely lost and unsure what to do.<\/p>\n
My husband left me after we found out I had a rare disease. It was like something out of a nightmare. One day, we were making plans for the future, and the next he was packing his bags, saying he couldn\u2019t \u201chandle the weight of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
I begged him to stay. I was scared. But he walked away without looking back. I was weak, alone, and in a lot of debt. The medical bills were already piling up, and without his income, I didn\u2019t even know how I\u2019d pay rent.<\/p>\n
He even took my dog. And he had the nerve to say it was for \u201cpractical reasons\u201d since he believes I couldn\u2019t take care of her properly. I was furious; we both knew she was mine. Not to mention, she was all I had left.
\nWhen I thought things couldn\u2019t get any worse, I got a shocking call from my mother-in-law, who told me that he is not at all the man she raised. She was horrified and heartbroken and kept crying uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
To my surprise, she offered to help. Both financially and emotionally. Even suggested I come live with her while I recovered.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what to do. She has always been kind to me, and I believe she truly feels ashamed of what her son has done. But accepting her help feels like holding onto this family that has already turned its back on me. I don\u2019t want anything to do with her son anymore.<\/p>\n
Am I being too proud? Or is it healthier to cut ties completely and work hard on my own? Please, please, please help me decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
