This is the only place I can do that so read it or don't but I'm writing it. I'm not going to be here much longer, a few months more at best. It is strange to know I am here now but in a few more months I won't be. I agonize over having to leave my dog and cat behind but I have found them both good new homes for when I board the bus for my journey. I cry every few minutes of every day. I would have tried to hang on a few more years possibly but it's impossible with my circumstances.
I married a much younger indian guy ten years ago, he is a senior computer engineer. He promised he would tell his family about us in a year after we were married, he told me they wouldn't approve because I was american older with no formal career or education they would see me as a looser basically. I didn't know much if anything about the indian culture and I believed him. The first 2 years were good, but then it changed, he changed, he began treating me like shit, devaluing me and abusing me mentally, verbally and emotionally/ psychologically.
He began to resent me, he knew he made a mistake and felt trapped. Every year he would go to India to visit his family and pretend he was single. It hurt me so bad. He told me he was ashamed of me, that I was trash and he didn't know how to get rid of me. I loved him and he just wanted to throw me away. I hung on because he'd always tell me he was sorry and really did love me and want me.
5 years after we were married I suffered a spinal injury in a fall while hiking in the mountain trails. I became disabled and in a lot of pain. My health declined further and further. I was diagnosed with MS and I have so many other debilitating conditions. I became bedridden with horrible chronic intractable pain.
When I had no further use for him he discarded me completely and the abuse escalated. He would totally ignore my cries of pain, tell me to hurry up and die, tell me I should just kill myself that I'm worthless, useless waste of space, tell me he hated me couldn't wait to be rid of me on and on it went.
The last 2 years of our marriage he was cheating on me with an Indian girl his parents had set him up with. When he would go to India he was seeing her and they got engaged while he was still married to me. He came back from india at the start of covid and moved out and filed for divorce. He was still supporting me financially fully as I can not take care of myself because of my health issues. This year around the Holidays he went to India and they got married. I didn't know about her and she didn't know about me until she was going through his phone and found texts and photos ect..
He texted me and told me he's cutting me off financially by the end of summer and going back to India with his new wife. He still texts me and tells me how much he loves her, and how he never loved me.
So that's that. There is no help for me out there I have checked into all of my options. I can not be homeless, broke and live in my car in my health conditions and pain. I just can't face that in top of everything else. I can't continue to live with what he did to me, how he just threw me away like the garbage he always said I was.
So that's my story and I'll be gone soon. There's really no other viable options for me so I'm trying to come to peace with it. This life has not been kind to me at all. I was abused as a child by my own mother when my father abandoned us when I was 7 years old and everything after that was bad. I don't know if I was ever truly loved by anyone in my life.
I'm not looking for pity. I just needed to get it out. I'm suffering badly, struggling with it all. I am ready to go but I don't like having to leave my dog and cat they are my only support and source of love. I have no family or friends so I am alone. If anyone suffers from physical pain as well as psychological then you know how unbearable it can be.
My health conditions will only go downhill from here, I'm even facing blindness because I have swelling and pressure behind my eyes and my sight is going. I can't live with the physical pain or the emotional pain anymore and want to CTB while I still have a shred of dignity left.
