5 CommentsI got married when I was 18 years old to this man that i am still married to and I am 27 yrs old now. I have 9 years old son who is recently diagnosed with severe language delay and asperegers. I have bachelor degree in mathematics. I was working for financial company for about seven months and once my child was diagnosed then it was time for me to quit and look after the child. I did bit of saving during that seven months.
Even tho it is not much of saving but for seven months it is a lot. My husband is senior manager in a top marketing firm. He come from a very wealthy family in comparison to mine. I had to move to sweden to be living with him. His family never liked me because they wanted him to marry someone from their class. I am not bothered whether people like me or hate. Our 9 years of marriage have been our of the toughest situations in my life. Bit of background about my family: My dad and mom both are disabled but not severe…I have two sisters and 3 brothers.Among my siblings three of them have university degrees but none of them had proper day job for while. I am one of the youngest and the only married one. My family is from new york. Once my child was diagnosed I look for good schools in new york. Me and my husband agreed if we find right school in ny then we will take our child there and i will be there as well. The main reason was we couldnt find good schools in swedan and the ones we found had long waiting list.
My husband while we were married during that 9 years bought 5 houses for investment, and he opened his own marketing firm. I never ask him for any money not even fancy dresses or bags shoes(those are the typical women ask), the jewellery i have are the ones that he got me as gift during our wedding. All this investments on houses etc I thought was for us as family. Once our child was diagnosed he started telling me i dont really want to live with u anymore and I dont see why I should put my life in trouble, the child is sick and u take care of ur child. I have noticed huge change for the past 3 years.
Everytime he speaks he tells me I will divorce u. He became violent with me infront of my child since the age of 1 years old and many times I got injures that I went to the police(did not file for complaint) because he would beg me it will be damaging his career. At the end it went on to continue and still does.
My family on the other hand, do not like me. The reasons for disliking me is unknown to me but I was the most intelligent child and I never ever asked pocket money from my parents when i was younger while on the other hand my siblings were the opposite.
When I had my child i delivered the child no one came to visit me in the hospital, not even my family. The fact that my family are based in ny and i am in swedan( still they could come and visit). I went to ny just two months ago looking for schools. All I hear from my family is so how much saving do you have, how much money did u earn? all sorts of questions regarding money.
My mother then visited us in swedan and believe it or not my husband bought her 20 thousand dollars diamond. He didnt even tell me about it, she told me jamie bought be this diamonds. If I ask him pls get me dress or shoes per say he would answer no, u dont need it. I swear to God I dont have even proper clothes to wear but I was fine with it until I realised that I am treated like ****. At this point in my life I don’t know what to do, I have no family to turn to and I have no one to even give me genuine advice.
Money was never important factor to me but I have realised I need money now because of my child. I dont know what to do and how to tackle the issue. Just to add his business is failing. He spent nearly a lot of money on that business and never bothered to go to that office at all. All he does is go out with his friends in the evening driving new cars and I am in the house with my son.
He never answers my call when he is out with his friends and he comes home around 11 pm after I put my child to bed. I wish I could kill myself cause I see no help. I dont have anyone to turn to for anything. All this people I was good to them my whole life turned their back on me. The only reason I want to move forward and my driving force is my child. What shall I do pls? Pls dont tell me to hire a lawyer cause if i go that way then he can hire the best lawyers in the country and i will end up with zero. PLS HELP ME
