My story is kind of complicated, I'll explain the best I can...
I was with my ex for 16 years, we lived together for 12. We became engaged in December 2013.
He put me in the hospital (the "crazy ward") in March 2014. 2 days later I was supposed to be discharged because there is nothing wrong with me and I didn't belong there. I call my Dad and he tells me that my ex didn't want me back at the house.
He then broke up with me (through my brother because he couldn't do it himself apparently) and basically made me homeless and penniless that day. I was forced to stay in the hospital since I had nowhere else to go. Then I was made to live at a 90 day treatment place, then at Nursing Homes since I had nowhere else to go with no money and being homeless.
We had a Joint Bank Account, and he also had his own. He worked at a bank for good money and I did babysitting in our home for only $100 a week. We also had a Savings Account that had a good amount of money in. (I asked my Dad to ask my ex about the Savings Account and he told my Dad that there was no such account!) My ex also sold my car and his truck to buy a brand new car that I never got to drive.
My family and caseworker tell me that my ex does not owe me a thing. My therapist and best friend both say that my ex DOES owe me something since we had been together 16 years and shared a Joint Bank Account and Savings Account.
So, my question is: Does my ex owe me anything?
