I’m a 52 yo single father on disability. I had my finances on track but due to a recent move and separation from my ex I now have all the bills. I started working again part time to help but it’s still very limiting. I’m not blaming my ex but her decisions before our split have put me much deeper in debt. I hate to consider this but I’m thinking of looking into bankruptcy to get out from under credit cards, medical and loan debt. I don’t like the idea of doing this but at my age, in my condition and raising a teenage daughter I feel like her quality of life is far more important than my pride.

Are there any others in a similar situation that are thinking this or have done something like this ? Again I don’t like turning my back on my responsibilities financially but my responsibility to her is more important. Just curious how others have dealt with this. Thanks
