Controlling and Abusive relationship left me in debt

Hello,

Well I never thought I would have to do something like this as I hate asking people for things. For two years I was in a controlling and abusive relationship, I don’t want to talk about the abuse but I was used for my money and what possessions I had. Initially I didn’t mind paying for days out as I am that sort of person I wouldn’t ever expect someone else to pay, I then ended up in a position where I needed to help them buy food and clothes on a monthly basis as they had no income. I don’t exactly earn much at work it’s more of a pittance to tide me over the month so the debt started to rise, they looked for a job and eventually I helped them get one so they said they would help pay off what is owed but instead the debt kept rising. It hit £1000 and I said that enough was enough and they now needed to help clear the debt as we wouldn’t be spending any money till it was all cleared, it turned out they had been cheating for the last few months so it had just turned into lets get as much as possible and leave the debt for me to sort out.

My job does not pay a great deal as I said and I do not get paid any overtime, I have been doing everything I possibly can to make an extra penny. I have sold many of my possessions on EBay as well as doing any odd jobs I can to get a little more money to help me clear up the debts. So far I have only been able to clear £2000 of debt but the interest is taking a huge chunk out of every payment. I am unable to move on with my life as my bank balance is a constant minus, I am unable to learn how to drive or move out from living with my family so my final young years are going to be spent clearing up a debt I had dumped on me by my ex. I am just hoping some kind hearted people would spare anything to help me try and get out of this situation, I am an incredibly hard working person but doing full days at work and then odd jobs every evening is burning me out as the only free time I have is when my head hits the pillow.

Please help me with this problem, I would be eternally grateful for every penny.
