Anyone know how to file bankrupcy? Really need help.

So my ex/child’s father really fucked me over. (TW//DV situation) i finally left and now im trying to put my life back together. He got me into so much debt and I think my only option at this point is to file bankruptcy. My issue is that I don’t have any assets. I literally have nothing to my name when I fled the relationship I left everything I had and now I’m living back at my grandmas house. I don’t even have a job now, because it’s really hard to find something that can accommodate me being the only caretaker of my son, without a car too …accepting now that im a single mom & I’m just trying to get my life on track, but the amount of that I have it’s literally impossible to pay back. I think I’m over 70,000 in debt right now. My credit is totally ruined because of this man, he completely finessed me. Anyways, how do I go about this? What am I supposed to do? I just want the debt to be gone and at this point I don’t even care having to wait seven years because either way my credit is ruined.

Seek legal counsel so you can choose which type and learn the pros and cons for both. It’s not as cut and dry as some people believe (file, debt goes away, 7 years later you are free) there are things in between that one needs to know about to make sure they want to go through with the bankruptcy.

Also, 70k is not terrible debt and can be turned around with a job. I would suggest you apply for daycare vouchers for your son to attend daycare while you work. Also apply for food stamps so you don’t have to worry about that expense.

Good luck to you.

I feel why I think it’s terrible. That is because I’m in default so I heard they can suspend your license or freeze your bank accounts and I can’t afford to pay it all at once obviously so :////

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
