I am going to TRY to shine a positive light on all this. I am not taking what you are going through lightly, so don't think that. I have been where you are and know how earth shattering it is.
BUT.... This is a chapter in your life that is coming to a end, that door will close but there will be many other doors for you to choose ahead. When one door closes, another opens for you! Just in time for the New Year, you will have a whole new life ahead and it will be what YOU make it. I put my new life in God's hands and trusted Him and I have to say... HE HAS taken care of me, VERY well! I was like you, could not afford to pay rent and had very little income. BUT, I have always had what I needed... not everything I wanted but I did have what I needed. You WILL do fine, you WILL be OK! Worry if you must but always remember.... The best revenge it to show them you can do BETTER without them! ;)

First off, I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me well wishes.
Things are not getting any easier. We are putting the house up for sale in a couple of weeks and he has already started dividing our stuff.
I have no place to go. I cannot afford an apartment, and I have to split up the cats- god how I don't want to.
I still can't believe that the past 10 years of my life just went down the tubes. I feel stupid, like how could I let this happen?
And yet again, I have to go to work, and pretend like nothing is wrong, meanwhile I have this inside, I feel like my heart is gone. I don't know what a true smile is, or happiness. I don't remember it at all.
I have no one to cry to and hold me, hug me, anything. I do this alone. But I guess I better get used to this whole alone thing-it will consume my new life.
I'm so sorry to be such a downer. It just gets harder the more real it becomes.

I don't know the specifics about the county where you live but in most areas there really are some excellent resources, for your mental AND physical (monetary wise) needs. A) get a good lawyer B) start gathering any and all paperwork (bills, tax statements, receipts) C) look under "county/Gov't Human Resources and D) TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANYTHING OFFERED!! Yes, all the phone calls and paperwork can be a pain but I'm convinced that's how they "weed out" people that aren't seriously in need. Good luck don't give up and keep strong ~~
