I'm Nicole I'm 39 years old I'm a mom of two girls Emily 13 who loves drawing lives her cat moon she's been in band since she was in 5th grade she's in 7th now and she plays the clarinet shes really good at it. My oldest is Erin 18 she's actually graduating this year I'm very proud of her and how far she has come in life she's my helper the mamas girls she's looking forward to applying for college she wants to get into culinary. As for me the truth is I'm getting out of a very toxic relationship of 15 years not married .But I could use some help I was told to find a house jan 2016 I came across one in June 2016 so my other half boss man bought the house I found. Paperwork was done up between my other half and his boss now it was said my other half was to keep up with the house maintenance and pay back a certain amount then the house would be turned over to my other half and my other half added if anything happened to him the home would go to my youngest. Well my dad had passed away March 2016 and I was left with his stuff and a little bit of money. So I did what any pretend wife would do I put most of it into our home I bought curtain rods curtains dishes being a new bed and mattress for my oldest. Then in 2017 I got approved for SSI and again I put the money into the house I remodeled our kitchen I bought new appliances fridge and stove because my other half wouldn't. Now everything in the house I have bought and supplied my ex didn't get anything and hasn't for years. I have over $20,000 in this house I have credit cards to show from decorating up keep on the house paid for a exterminator since June 2017. I've also paid half the bills in the house and I've supported my kids on my own he has not bought them clothes school supplies anything for their rooms bedding blankets pillows nothing for Christmas nothing for birthdays didn't pay school functions pictures or year books. I've bought all of that and taken care of my dogs Beethoven Saint Bernard mix and rocky German Rottweiler which I bought both emotional support dogs. Here we are Feb 2025 my now ex is trying to kick me and my kids out of our home he said I was lucky he was nice enough to give me tell may 2025. Now the house is still in bosses name but he has only heard my ex's side and most females will understand this next part. When I told my ex I was done with this relationship it ticked him off so he went around telling anyone who would listen that I haven't done anything the whole time we've been together I don't clean cook or take care of the kids. I'm apparently a bad mom because I don't make breakfast every morning instead I taught my girls how to cook. I have tons of pictures on my Facebook of my cooking and baking with the kids even lunches I made for him for work. I've got pictures of the house clean or decorated for Christmas pictures of movie nights with my kids I tried to take as many pictures as possible I didn't want to miss anything. Now here's where I explain a little more about my situation it's been very toxic and abusive physically and emotionally and mentally. He had taken a paddle to my oldest and he spanked her thigh when she didn't make a sound he just restarted like he was mad he didn't get a reaction out of her. I told her I would be right by her side if she wanted to report him she said he had threatened her if she called the cops she would be sorry. This was last year I've been trying to find a place for two years now he has also put hands on me left bruises around my neck my arms not once but twice last summer being the last time and I stood up for myself he didn't like that. He went around telling everyone I went after him but I was the only one with bruises and the kids seen everything. He stole my guns and he is a felon I made a report last month he pretended not to have them couple days later he said if I dropped the paperwork or whatever from the police he would give me my guns back which I have a recoding of it. He has spent the past 5 years putting me down yelling at me for the littlest thing nothing I've done was ever good enough. I could be as calm as can be and try to talk to him about the issues but as soon as I go to talk he says I'm starting an argument or starting shit just so he doesn't have to hear me. He's called me fat dumb stupid ignorant he has said if he has to do his own clothes why the hell am I even here or if I loved him I would wash and put up his clothes. That's why he's kicking us out because I stopped putting his clothes away it's petty this man has not had to wash a dish or do his clothes or any chores in this house in 14 years. The only thing he has done was fixed the roof because the insurance company said if he didn't they would fine him. All other up keeps I've done all of this abuse has gotten to me and if it's gotten to me it's gotten to my kids. Honestly I'm barely hanging on there are mornings where I wish I wouldn't wake up but I'm the only person my kids have so I have no choice but to keep going for them and pray I can find help somewhere. I've still been trying to find a place to move to but either I don't make enough or they don't allow my emotional support dogs. I can't leave them in this mess either they are my world just like my kids now I have a lot of health issues honestly I have no problem posting them on here. I have fibromyalgia, chronic disc diese chronic, migraines, macromastia, bilateral mastodynia, mastodynia of left breast, dyslipidemia, cervical disc disorder, scarring hypertrophic, cervix prolapse, uterus prolapse, multilevel degenerative disc disease, impaired hearing, tympanosclerosis of both ears, pseudotumor cerebri, PTSD, ADD. So I'm not as healthy as I used to be and I can't do what I used to and putting laundry away I need help but he doesn't help with anything. He says he hurts worse than I do that I don't know what real pain is. I apparently live in a magical world of fairy dust and gummy bears because I couldn't imagine living in the real world. Again me getting I'll I guess to him it was better to treat me like shit so I would leave so he wouldn't have to take care of me even though I stood by his side for 15 years supporting him taking care of him. But he's also said nothing is wrong with me even though I've had test done doctor has confirmed everything again I have it on my chart with my doctor to print out i don't lie and I can't stand people who do. So here is where I'm at either I can try to hire a lawyer and try to stay in our home which I'm sure at this point his boss would kick me and the kids out after court. Or I try to find a place that I can't afford and end up homeless our monthly payment for this house is $355 a month which I can afford with no problem every were else wants $687+. Not including water lights trash fee insurance for my car which I traded my dad's jeep in order to fix my car because he wouldn't help me and I just had to pay $125 on a steering pump that has been messed up for 7 months the day I took it to be fixed I ended up with a blow out. The mechanic said me and my kids were very lucky because the steering pump was really bad like I shouldn't have been driving and that tire blowing out I wouldn't have been able to steer. I had asked my ex for 4 months to fix it he told me to do it even though it's his truck. But he has made sure that his other truck he is driving is ok nothing wrong with it but the one I used to haul the kids and run errands Dr appointment dentist therapy grocery shopping etc was not fixed and was not safe for us. But I had no other way to go so that's my life right now and yes I still live under the same roof as him and he continues to eat mine and the girls food and doesn't replace it so we end up going with out. If I say something to him he will find a way to punish me or the kids. He used to punish me by not paying his half of the bills or refuse to help with gas money every time I leave in his truck it cost $25 that doesn't even get me half a tank. So I've been spending almost $300 a month on gas I'm having to buy groceries for me and the kids $150 a week so I'm not able to put any money away or able to pay off my debts quicker because of him. I'm having to sell what little I have just to eat and have gas money and I just paid $375 for my oldest daughter cap and grown now I have to pay $150 for a ticket to her senior trip not including extra money for her to eat on and buy stuff with. He owes me money but refuses to pay me back and there's nothing I can do. I had a lawyer and my case worker say it would be best for me and my kids to stay in this house due to my health issues and this being the only home the girls have none that it would be a big disruption or change for them to go through and it wouldn't be good on them. Lawyer also told me to talk to the boss but from what I've heard he's wrote up an eviction notice for me and my kids to get out in 10 days. I was told by the police and lawyer he would have to take me to court I could fight the eviction go to court and explain to the judge why I can't leave. But my ex is saying that's not true I wouldn't have a choice I would have to leave in 10 days. So here's my plea if you know a lawyer who could help me pro bono please send info. If you're able to help with funds $1+ I would be beyond blessed and I appreciate every little thing it adds up. If you know anyone in my area who has something to rent to own that could work with me I would be great full for the info you want to contact the news crew about my situation I don't know how that works but for someone to kick someone out with two kids no where to go with the health issues I have and the places I've contacted either refuse my emotional support dogs or trying to make me pay a fee or telling me I can't have their breed on their property. Both dogs have been trained now simple commands they don't tear anything up haven't tore anything up with this house both house trained kennel trained. I'm located in Nashville Georgia just a small town if you made it to this part thank you for taking the time out of your morning or night to read this. Honestly I'm not the type to ask for help but I'm at the end of my rope with no where to go and no help.
