Hi,

I need help. I am a wreck. My husband left in July. I have been married for 19 yrs. 3 sons. One is a teen. He doesn't seem to want to come back. I was laid off one yr ago from a professional job. I am still lokking for the right job that pays good $$. I am also going to night school for Nursing or Radiology. I am overwhelmed with all the work and responsibilities I have. He has his own business. He is never home. I am one of those nice, sweet, religious girls who feel that a dam fool for being such a good wife.

Help!!

The first thing you should do is contact a lawyer. If your husband does not plan on returning the least you can do is make sure that you and your sons are provided for. Do not let him dump all his responsibilities.

Not that I advocate doing this, but I would ask for spousal support- a short term agreement. Since you were laid off and he was supporting you and you still have not found work, you are in a good position to receive it. I would just ask for a 6 month support of until you find work, which ever comes first.

Otherwise, do you have child support in place for your kids? If not, you need to get that too.

Good luck on finding work, what a tough time you are going through, and the added stress of finding a job doesn't help.

You will get through this.
