Anon post; My husband left me and our two kids in August. Although we havent started the divorce proceedings I feel as though we are already divorced since we are so distant from one another. Truth is that I dont hate him because I really didnt see us as the happily ever after couple. I guess you can say that we married each other because not for love but for the sake of not being alone. The kids and I knew that it was time for him to leave when he started being verbally abusive, coming home late, and not interacting much with me or the kids except to yell or talk down to us. He moved back home to his parents and I honestly think he is happier since he has everything he wants, a mom to wait on him hand and foot, minimal responsibilities and freedom. I, on the other hand, have the weight of the world on my shoulders with no support from him or family. I might be loosing our house since he hasnt given me enough money to even support our kids never mind keep our home and my paycheck wouldnt cover all of my financial obligations for me and the kids. Although my kids seem to be coping well, Ive taken the proactive route by getting us all counseling, being as open as I can and never talking bad about their father even when he upsets me. Truth is I dont know how to raise a 6 and 5 yr old without screwing them up. I grew up on a broken home with a lot of childhood nightmares and I dont want my kids to suffer like I did. I pray to God for strength and guidance to keep my kids happy and safe while Im drowning in my own failures. I suffer from bipolar 2 and it has reared its ugly head since the stress has become so overwhelming. Funny thing is that I dont miss him since we didnt have a marriage, we were glorified roommates. I guess there is no reason for this post except to get my thoughts off my chest. If you read this book then I thank you for taking the time.
