It's painfully cold, isolating, and infuriating when you're trying to escape an abusive marriage, and everyone around you says:

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

But when you ask for help -- not even financial help -- something as simple as having one furniture item removed from your home -- it's like every human has fallen off the face of the earth. Everyone who "offered to help", just...... crickets. I've even offered to pay them some money to have it removed.

So, despite being broke, here I am having to pay someone ~$100+ to have a damn armchair removed from my house as I tie up loose ends with the sale of my house.
