Hi everybody!
I am 35 years old and have struggled with various problems since my teenage years. It was only recently that I was diagnosed with ADHD and now everything is clear to me. I lived in an abusive household and I indulged in various vices early on, seeking an escape from reality.
During that period, I got into a relationship with a man a few years older than me, whom I later married, and he is also addicted to various substances.
I knew about some things, but I didn't know that he was a heavy gambler, and he managed the finances in the house. He got us into debt and wouldn't stop doing the same. He took out loans in my name, he took out credit cards in my name (which I didn't know anything about, because he did everything online).
I admit I am also to blame for some of those debts. After all those years, I managed to get away from him and get a divorce. I've been living alone for a year and I'm only now realizing the problems I've gotten myself into. I've tried everything, and I'm paying off my debts little by little, but I'm constantly short of money for basic necessities, even though I work full-time (I don't receive any social assistance).
I am experiencing various health problems due to the constant stress I have been living under my entire life. I am afraid that the stress will push me over the edge and that I will give up on everything. I have been officially divorced for a year, I have not touched alcohol or any drugs for a year, I have not incurred a single smallest debt for a year and all I want is to get rid of the problems from the past and start over. My debt is not enormous (around 30,000 euros), but for me it seems like something totally unsolvable.
I would ask good people with open hearts, who are able to donate at least a few euros for the purpose of my campaign, to do so. You have no idea how much it would mean to me and literally save my life. Thank you in advance to everyone who shares this story or donates, as well as to those who at least wish me luck.
