I want to say something clearly about where I am.

I remain extremely worried about my financial situation, and that uncertainty is itself a serious burden on me. I know you previously said that I would not end up on the street, and I heard that. I also remember your saying that, while I was carrying so much with my mom, divorce-related matters would naturally be on pause on your end. But the financial uncertainty has not been on pause for me. It has continued to weigh on me very heavily, and I would really appreciate moving to something concrete as quickly as possible.

At this point, reassurance by itself is not enough for me. I need this resolved in actuality, not just in principle, because I no longer feel able to rely on informal trust alone. You are in a much stronger position than I am right now, and I would appreciate it if you would use that position to help reduce this instability for me rather than let it continue unresolved.

To help move things along, I’d like to send you the letter I plan to send Allison so you can see exactly how I’m framing the issues and prepare your side as efficiently as possible. My goal in doing that is simply to help us move faster toward something real and stable.
