Hi

I'm in debt after my divorce. I thought I was doing the right thing in getting my kids what they wanted trying to keep up with my ex. I know now that I didn't have to but back then I just did. Now I am SO far behind and the phone won't stop ringing. I called one CC and they agreed to stop all interest and fees for a year. HUGE help. One I settled with and a great friend lent me the money. The others I have to call and see if they will do the same. I'm scared and I've kept my head buried for too long. No one except my firend knows of my situation and she really doesn't know the whole extent. I am going to try and bite the bullet but it's SO hard with kids and they always need something. I'm really trying though.

What else can I do?

Welcome to the board.


I know it's rough when everything is coming at you at once.
