Help Cover My Mom's Divorce Fees

Hello. I am fundraising to help my mom cover the legal fees for her tumultuous, 6-year-long divorce from her manipulative and emotionally abusive husband. I am so happy she is finally free from her abuser but sad that she still feels no relief because she is drowning in the financial aftermath.

 

I would appreciate any help whether it's a donation, prayer, or sharing this campaign. Please help ease my mom's financial burden, prove that justice can prevail and that it is actually worth it to escape such a disrespectful and abusive person.

 

Mom is the light of my life and the embodiment of love. The fact that she swoons over every Korean actor and can't help but dance to k-pop and reggaeton brings me a joy that I didn't even know could exist. No matter what is going on in the world and what is going on in my life, her very existence and the love I feel from her make me feel happy every day. Every day for me is a blessing because of her. But for her, every day is a challenge and filled with sadness.

 

After nearly 40 years of marriage, she found out that my dad was cheating on her. She found out that he had also taken out loans, a mortgage on their house, and a mortgage on her mom's house unbeknownst to her. He then left the country to live with his 20-something-year-old mistress leaving my mom to be completely responsible for all of the debt he caused. Now she suffers from depression, anxiety, and insomnia. She is constantly sad at the way her life turned out. To make matters worse, his mistress constantly harassed her sending photos and videos of them together to my mom, me, and other members of our family. When we tried to block her, she would just use a new phone or new account to send photos continuing this horrible cycle for years.

 

In 2015, my mom finally gathered the courage and will to file for divorce. But my dad was completely uncooperative simultaneously continuing his affair while trying to deny it and evade the divorce. The fact that he was able to prolong and drag out the divorce proceedings for nearly 6 years out of sheer stubbornness and disrespect made me completely lose faith in the legal system, justice, and even just marriage in general. I am relieved that my mom is finally free—in some respects—from the abuse, but now she is suffering the “consequences” of her freedom with about $20,000 remaining in legal fees from the divorce lawyer. As my dad practically fled to another country denying and evading all responsibility, my mom is left to pay these fees on her own. It is hard to remain hopeful about anything when escaping an abusive relationship came at such a steep financial cost and burden.

 

My grandma, mom's mom, also recently passed away, and watching my mom break down at the funeral really made me realize how broken and alone she feels. She is the kindest, most caring, most loving person, and doesn't deserve to feel this way. My older sister and I try our best to be there for her, but my older sister is chronically ill, and I only recently graduated am just beginning my career. I worked hard to get scholarships and graduate without any student debt, but now I am worried about my mom's debt and the toll it has on her mental and emotional health.

 

I refrained from using photos of my mom to protect her privacy and try to prevent any further harassment. But please contact me if you would like to hear any more details in order to help her.
