Re: I feel trapped.

Hi Lynn,

To be over 60 and separated doesn't have any negative meaning. Just look at it as a new chance to enjoy the single life again, or to start your life anew the way you really want. So chin up.

Re: I feel trapped.

Hi Pat,

You can go to social security agency and apply for housing because you have only social security for income; and you also can apply for SSI. It was not imposing when growing up they depended on us, then it is not imposing when we need help from them either. However, at the age of 65, you can apply for aids from government, so you don't need to go to your daughter if you don't want to. Best wishes.

Re: I feel trapped.

Hi, I am new to this site and to the situation that I am in. My husband asked me for a divorce 2 months ago. I have been married for 17 years. My understanding is that you are also entitled to half of his social security when he begins to receive it. You are entitled to this until you remarry. Good luck.

Re: I feel trapped.

Hi Pat...does your husband suffer from extremely high blood pressure?

Is there an underlying medical/mental issue here?

Sometimes if there is a medical issue, they won't or can't talk ...

Try visiting the women's centre and go for some help...get away from the house and from him.

I'm not sure if divorce is the answer...but keep building your support.
