For those who are divorced
| Tue, 01-29-2008 - 7:08am |
My husband and I have not decided on divorce quite yet, but I need to know how you handle all the changes that come with divorce. I mean, I worked just as hard as he did to get where we are today and if we divorce our son and I will basically lose everything. We will go from living in a nice house to an apartment, from driving a nice car to an old one, I will have to go from working part-time to working full time and he will go from being homeschooled to public school. I will lose my health insurance, and certainly won't have anything as luxurious as cable with DVR and cable internet. It will be like taking 10 steps back. My stupid husband is the one who made the mistake yet my son and I will be the ones paying for it. I feel like I have no choices, no control over what happens in my life right now and it really, really sucks. How does anyone get through this?

I gave up a lot when I left my M but I am much better off now.
Don't worry about your son because he will survive. I'm sure people are telling you that but it is true.
I know how overwhelming things can seem right now.
Can i relate! Its been 4 yrs for me, and I gave up the big house, fancy car, the safety blanket if I were to get layed off from a working situation or if I needed to take time off.
I can relate to your problems also.
Going without an attorney can save you lots of money - it can also cost you lots of money.
Hi,
Not sure where to start.
I had the guilt too.
Sounds like you and I may be close to the same age and experience.
I am 47 yrs old.
