New & Scared
| Mon, 03-28-2005 - 5:27pm |
I have been married for 15 years and have a two year old. My marriage has always been rocky and unstable. My husband lies about our finances and is very deceitful too. There were some "good" times, but mostly bad. Things are at there worst right now, financially; and have been for about 8 months. My H told me last night that he doesn't "care" about me anymore and hasn't for a long time now. He said he's only still here because of our two year old. I guess I've know this for a long time now, because I feel the exact same way! It just hurt so much to actually hear him say the words, it made it more real. We had so many dreams for our future and enjoy all the same outdoor activities. It is so hard for me to let go of all that. My real delima is that we moved to another state about 7 years ago ( I love it here and have very good friends here), but my family all live in another state far away. Financially, I will not be able to make it on my own here. I don't work, i've been a SAHM. Even if I did work I wouldn't be able to survive on my own. I feel the only choice I have is to go back where my family is and try and get on my feet and start a new life there. I am having so much stress about all of this, it is terrible. I feel like such a failure, in everyway. I'm also unclear about where to file for divorce. I am at my wits end and don't know what to do. Can someone please give me some sound advice???

Hello and Welcome to the board.... although I'm sorry that you're here, too.
The very first thing that you want to do is to talk to at least one.... two or three if possible.... attorney where you live.

I agree with Karen.... definitely talk to an attorney and find out what your rights are.
Hugs to you sweetie and good luck!
