I am sorry to hear about your situation but you have to realise that Bitcoin.com do not own or control the bitcoin network, we are just one domain name used to promote Bitcoin.

The problem you are experiencing is most likely due to the network being too congested to confirm transactions in a timely manner and this is a problem Bitcoin.com is working towards fixing with solutions such as bitcoin unlimited.

Can you provide the transaction ID and we maybe able to help you a little more.

Thanks.

This transaction is already 3 days old so I believe that this will drop off the network within the next few hours. A transaction will normally drop off the network if it doesn't receive any confirmations in the first 72 hours since being broadcast.

The reason this won't be confirmed is because the fee is way too low, only 98.655 sat/B. If you check https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ you will see that the optimal fee for a transaction to make it into the next couple of blocks is 330 satoshis/byte.
I would recommend that you keep an eye on your wallet and stop it re-broadcasting the same transaction, add a higher fee next time and you won't have this problem.

Okay..thanks for that.. One more thing please.. How do I get to choose the sending fee to either highest or cheapest cause I have no idea about that when I was sending the bitcoin.. It automatically deducted the fee. Thanks

I wish people would take the time to understand something before casting blame. It's a once a day occurrence where someone thinks Bitcoin.com controls the Bitcoin network, but all it would take was reading one somewhat technical article to realize this is not true.

Actually the code changed recently so transactions stuck in the mempool don't expire for two weeks. So low fee paying transactions will be stuck in limbo longer.

Ah okay, that would explain the sudden leap in transactions stuck for up to 2 weeks.

Why was this change made, seems strange to me to have transactions stuck for 2 weeks instead of the old 72hrs. Any link?

It is stupid and the Core central planners didn't have the foresight to realize that increased expiry times would lead to huge back logs https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9312
