What do you mean no one else will turn him in? I assume you've contacted the police. I'm so very sorry this has happened to you. I hope you get to see your daughter soon. I'll keep an eye out for some charities that might help you and let you know if I find anything. Meanwhile, do you belong to a church? They may help you.
It's sad, so sad, how quickly and thoroughly a good thing can turn bad. Aidpages is a wonderful outlet for helping people and scammers and thieves are seeping through all over this wonderful oppurtunity. Here's some tips from Mama to help keep us safe:
*Never, under any circumstance, provide your phone number, address or any other personal information to people on the internet.
*Think hard, children, before you open your heart and pocket book.
*A search through just about any search engine will give you lots of information. I recommend Dogpile.com. A tip is to run a search for an email address or user name, or even names, addresses and phone numbers that people are providing. You may find out that people are misrepresenting themselves here.
*Another tip, I believe that 'theft by deception' may be a felony. That's a little something for you scammers to think about on here. You are easier to find on the net than you may believe.
*I hate to spit all over this parade, but it's crucial that we take care of each other here and this is my way of taking care of all you kind hearted people out there. Do a lot of research and homework before you set yourself up to get hurt.

Hi there,
There's no shame in letting your wife work and support the family financially. You can take care of the family as well by offering support, taking care of errands that don't require physical strain, sitting at the table, peeling veggies, that sort of thing. A good wife will do her part to take care of the family, even if it means working outside of the home. In this day and age, it is not only the 'man's duty' to be the bread winner. Once you are healed, you can go back to traditional roles if you like.
Sorry to here about the problems your having with your soon to be ex.
Is your estranged wife running up bills in your name? This can be stopped by contacting these companies and putting out a fraud alert. Call the credit card and banks with accounts in your name and freeze these accounts. This will at least stop any further damage.
Okay, so I'm new the the Aidpages community and I'm curious about something. Some of you are regular posters and keep a running blog offering advice and links to helpful sites. Being a member of a couple sites myself, I've developed quite a bond with my online friends. How many of you come here to see how other Aidmates are doing? Do you only come to post in your blog? In short, How involved in this community are you? I'm only asking because I have a tendency to become attached to people and I wonder how many others are the same way.
Whenever I would make friends as a child, I would always go out of my way to help them, because I thought that what friends should do. My mother always referred to it as "picking up strays". I guess she figured I only made friends with needy people. In a way, I did, because everyone has needs, whether it's physical or emotional. So many people don't like to ask for help, but there's no shame in it. I guess that why some people have difficulty making or keeping friends; because they don't like to acknowledge another persons needs.

Here I am. If you're wondering about the nickname, it's a sort of homage to Dustin Holffman's character Little Big Man. I can relate so much to that poor little guy in the movie!
Anyway, my husband and I are working on starting our own business sometime in the future. Right now funds are pretty low, but we're doing what we can. Part of our hopes and plans for the new business is that we want to give something back to the world. Environmentally friendly and all that. We also want to be involved in public service as well. My motto is: Love people, not things.
Right now, however, we are strapped for cash. The only thing I can offer right now is time, effort, research, and friend support.
I am interested in aidpage because it looks more like a group of pals giving each other advice and such and I hope to become a part of that.

That's fantastic Hyacynth! Definitely a stroke of good luck! And it's good to see that you've used the resources available to you. It does stink that the system is messing you up because you're a student, but another way to look at it is this: you are setting a wonderful example for your daughter by showing her you're a strong, hard working women. She will be one too. Here's a nice little link to lift your spirits: Foundation for a better life
Hi Hyacynth (that's a lovely nickname by the way!) Good looking out with the warning about scammers! Shows that you have a good head on your shoulders and you care enough to share your wisdom with others.
There's nothing wrong with applying for welfare assistance to help you get by...I did that after my first marriage failed. What people need to understand is that welfare is there to help supplement your income, not become a career! People that make their living by dishonestly collecting welfare make it difficult for everyone!
I don't know where you could get an emergency $500, but looking into local food banks and charities from churches could help you a lot. There is also the WIC (Women Infants Children) program to help with feeding that darling little one of yours. Give me some time to do some research and I will send you some information that might help you supplement that income so you can afford to move and pay the bills.
Looking at ways to prevent my business from going under. Bankruptcy, debt settlement are possibilities. Wondering about government programs to keep small businesses afloat and participating in economi...see full post
