At the end of my rope...
| Thu, 03-25-2004 - 7:40am |
For those of you who saw my previous posts, I'm back. This time, it's to solicit advice on divorce/separation. DH is no longer D, just H (LOL!). In a nutshell, I feel like a slave since DH won't help out at all. He feels it's my job to take care of everything since I'm a SAHM. This is nothing new as things have been deteriorating for years and I'm now looking into divorce.
Anyone been through this? I'm looking at jobs and apartments that the boys and I can move to. DH has said in the past that he'll try to take the kids away from me, unlikely since the courts won't just let him, especially since I'm technically their only caregiver. I'm sure we can work out an equitable solution once he calms down.
I'm not going to mention any of this to DH until I have some solid plans. No sense adding to the tension. Suggestions? Comments? Pity?
Trying to keep a smile,
Lisa

I'm new here and your post was the first I read. I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I regret to say I don't have much advice except do what's best for your mental/emotional health.....don't stay in the relationship "for the kids". Sometimes when parents stay married when they should be divorced it does more damage to the children. I do agree with a message from a fellow member, find a good counselor if you haven't tried that route already. Lastly, stay in the relationship if it's healthy and the boys see a good marital role model.
Be strong and good luck!
