I had everything I ever dreamed of, after a semi turbulent life up until 4 years ago when I met my wife, and now I've lost everything...
I fell in love with the most beautiful, amazing, funny woman I've ever met. We clicked so instantly and were best friends. We were into a lot of the same things and the things were weren't both into initially , the other would find they liked it too most times.
We had two beautiful children together and she helped raise my two other children from my previous train wreck of a marriage.
I started a business(her dream business), we had a nice house, the dog she wanted since she was little, I told her she was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen(and I mean it) everyday.
I asked her in the very beginning to JUST be faithful to me and she could be or whatever else she wanted. Every person I've ever been with for any length of time has cheated. EVERY. ONE.
It damaged me. I would literally cry and beg her to just be faithful to me. She would always hold me and kiss me and swear she would never hurt me like that.
Of course, 4 months ago she cheated on me while I was at home with our babies...
A month ago our house burned down because of something stupid and the police are saying it was intentional because the fire started in two places(in the same room), which is NOT true.
So, I lost everything I've built in an instant, twice, and they want to charge me with arson.
As God as my witness, it was not intentional, nor was the fire in two places.
So, me, with no criminal record, a pillar in my community because of my business(caring for the elderly), a loving husband and father, has now lost everything I care about aside from my children and I'm being threatened with 3-20 years in prison for something I didn't do....
This is on top of a life of being poor with no dad, abusive boyfriends of my mother, my brother who was my best friend drowning at 19 yrs old, and my mother dying unexpectedly 2 years later of a heart attack at 57. I'm sure there is more but I can't think properly anymore.
To make matters very slightly worse(lol) I came here to learn ways out, and suddenly I feel less able to do it when I was moments away prior to coming and reading stories here a few nights ago.
God feels like a big kid with a magnifying glass frying us ants.
Through all of this I have started drinking everyday. I can't sleep more than 2-4 hours a night... I'm standing at the bus stop but I cant get on.
