Hello,
My name is Rick I’m 28 years old and engaged to a lovely woman named Nichole. I proposed to Nichole 6 months after we met as I knew this was the only woman I could ever want and most importantly all I could think of when we were together was starting a family. We began talking about having children but waiting until after we got married we agreed 3 children (Hopefully 3 boys lol) My fiancé would always tell me she couldn’t handle 3 little Ricky’s running around. Well my life was on the right track I had a job that could afford me this life and she was a CNA at a retirement home that didn’t pay well, but she loved taking care of the elderly and she felt that in itself was rewarding enough so that is all that mattered to me. I was a happy man. I went into work one day and was called into my supervisor’s office and was told I’m no longer needed. I wasn’t given a reason to why. I was told the decision came from corporate and he has no information for me and that any questions should be directed to the manager of operations who isn’t here today. I was presented with a discharge form which I refused to sign as no reason has been given to me. I kept asking what I did and was told “I don’t Know” I left the office and the whole drive home I asked myself what am I going to do? What am I going to tell Nichole? I worked my butt for that company and this is how I’m treated? I later found out from a co-worker the office I worked at would be merging with another location and they didn’t need everyone. I filed for unemployment which was denied as my employer said I quit. I appealed and the day of the phone hearing no one answered at the company so I was asked a few questions by the judge and he said I would receive his ruling by mail in 10 business days. I waited a week and the letter came only to be shocked to see my x-employer had given sufficient cause for a continuance. Well here is the bombshell the hearing is to be determined. I kept looking for work every day by going on job sites and going out looking, but there is nothing out there. It has been almost 3 months and still no hearing I called several times to be told it’s up to the judge just continue filing out your vouchers every week to stay current. I don’t have any money to hire a lawyer and I had to go and apply for food stamps which thankfully were granted. I’m afraid I’m going to lose everything. I can’t pay my bills. I’ve borrowed from everyone so my fiancée and I have a place to live and so we can keep the utilities on, but my car payment is severely past due and I don’t know when they will come for it. I been getting calls from the bank and I tried to explain to them, but there only answer is “Do you have family you can borrow from?” I have sense had my cable shut off my phone and Internet shutoff as well. I have a nice neighbor that knows my situation and has given me his access key to his Wi-Fi so I can look for work online as I can’t even afford gas. I don’t know what I would of done if it wasn’t for the support of my fiancée she has stuck by me through this whole thing. I love her to death, but I feel I have failed us both as I can’t give her what she wants. We can’t get married we can’t have kids. I can’t buy her the nice things she deserves. I lye next to her just wanting to cry my eyes out just thinking to myself she deserves better than me. I was raised to care for the woman you love where the man works and the woman stays home and cares for the kids or does whatever makes her happy so this whole thing just devastates me. I always said I would never ask for handouts as people work hard for their money and I don’t was to ask for it, but If I don’t I will never be able to get out of what seems to be bottomless hole I’m In.
