I'm still seeing the chickenhead, but only for one reason. He has all the power right now because I've applied for social security benefits.
I didn't really want to do it, but I'm not ready to go back to work full-time and I need the money for all those pesky moving expenses. Otherwise I'll be living in "This Old Box". So when the SSA finally gets around to turning me down, I'm dropping Dr. Happy like a hot potato.I've talked to a lawyer on the phone, I told him that I was broke, damn I barely have enough money to keep myself in cigarettes and Paxil. I haven't got the divorce papers in my hand yet, so the lawyer told me to wait until that happened because as soon as I stepped in his office, "the meter starts running".
My therapist told me that at the very least, I automatically qualify for half of my husband's pension (should I live that long, of course). Since we both own the house and I'm not interested in keeping it, he'll owe me some money for that...I guess maybe I'll need a financial analyst, I don't know. I can't believe he's putting me through this crap but, there it is.
I also intend to ask for continued medical coverage, at least for awhile. I desperately need this medicine I'm taking and he knows it. He knows it better than anybody.
This sucks.
