In 2014, after putting in 10 years of "duty" to my manipulative "polyamorous" wife (to put it lightly), i finished up the last year of college sleeping in a tent and showering in the campus gym daily (on loans that i am not delinquent on). I then proceeded to couch surf while working a minimum wage job for 6 months to buy a car.
Then i moved back to san jose, went 24/7 blitzkrieg on the job hunt, targetting companies i intended to work for and solicited them instead of waiting on a job posting. The job i ended up taking interviewed me on day 3 of being in town. I began working on day 5. I slept in my car and picked up a gym membership, where i continued to maintain appearances for the next 6 months before paying off all of the joint debts on my credit history so that i was rent-to-able.
In the meanwhile, my "wife" moved in with her "husband", who, it turns out, she was married to since they eloped at the age of 18, which she never thought important to tell me prior to exchanging vows bigamously.
Child support was paid the entire time. When they broke up about 18 months ago, and my ex moved back to CA, i took her to court and sued her for regular visitation.
I did not complain aboit any of this the entire time it was transpiring. In fact, i was just happy to be rid of her trifling ways. To get back to center, i pulled myself up by my own bootstraps from a position that you could not even imagine being in, child.

the problem with liberals is they'd rather bully you about your life than talk about what an amazing job you did rebuilding it after going through your version of the same struggle everyone goes through, life.
Your story is inspiring and is why conservatives dont want to pay for other peoples shit. Because nobody payed for theirs and they saw that all they needed to do to get their shit together was to stop asking other people to do it for them and to make sacrafices to get it right.
The problem with the modern generation is they simply not only do not know this, they think if you get into a situation like this its somehow a character flaw, so they just pretend that they are not in it themselves by not trying to fix it and demanding that the government prevent anyone from ever being in it in the first place.
Its like asking god for a world to exist without sin.
You cant live in a free universe if you are protected from the dangers that come with it.
