Deported and Back in the States

by Jennifer Bell
(Hartford, CT. USA)




Hi, Not very happy but not really angry at the government.Canada was good to me and Flew me back to New England but I really don't have a home here anymore. I have no job, no money and no husband.
Social Security told me that I cannot collect benefits If I am married unless that person is also on disability, so unless I marry a retard I have to starve. Doesn't look like my marriage is working out anyway and it's probably for the best that I get a divorce, but I need money in order to file for one. Lovely.
36 years of abuse and you'd think I'd be used to it but I'm not.
I hope other stories end up better than mine.
Jen

So sorry...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Sorry this happened to you, Jen. There's no doubt in my mind that your inner strength and intestinal fortitude will serve you well. There's no doubt in my mind that you will come through this. After all, you've survived so much worse.

Keep the faith.
