Hey guys. I'm going to preface this by saying that I hate doing this. It's awful and absurd. I wouldn't do this if I had any other options that fulfilled the immediacy of this situation.
My drama with Jonathan seems unending at this point, and I need to get out from under it, and that need has only been exacerbated by him turning the drama up to 11.
So here's the deal: When we split up, a number of the household utilities were in his name. I left them that way, and promised that I wouldn't file with the OAG for child support as long as he kept things in good standing. They're not in good standing (getting there soon) and due to issues like those below, I am in the process of filing with the OAG, but it's not a quick process, and he doesn't make that much anyway.
Recently, he figured out that he could use my utilities to threaten me if I didn't play along with his crap. So he's manipulating/coersing me to do whatever the hell he wants by threatening services. So far, he's cut my phone off once. He's cut my internet twice, he cut my trash service for a month (I just got the cans back on friday) and today I lost my water.
So now, we're at GoFundMe time.
I need to get my services active and out of his name ASAP. The water got cut because he didn't pay the bill. There's a total balance due of $500. I can reconnect for $350, but I need to pay off the entire balance, plus a $200 deposit to get it out of his name. So that's $700. My gas is also in his name, and should not be a major expense to transfer. For my internet, I owe $100 to spectrum in order to transfer my service. Then I need to set up a new phone plan for myself, and his firstborn, Kas, who lives with me. He's threatening their phone line too.
And on top of all of this, I'm just simply straight up beyond broke. I recently started a new job, and I haven't been paid yet, so literally EVERYTHING is behind. My checking account is overdrawn, my credit cards are maxed out. I'm not entirely sure where my next gallon of milk is coming from, or when the last time I threw money at the electric bill was.
That said, I don't want to be greedy, but this is an emergency. I have to AT LEAST get the water back on, and AT MOST get everything out of his name, and get a few bills paid. Anything extra will be donated to SafePlace Austin, to help other families with similar issues.
ALSO, if we know each other, and there's something I can possibly help you with in exchange, please let me know.
Thank you so much for your time and your help.
