Getting a Divorce

I’m 31. 2 kids and 8 years later I filed for divorce. He doesn’t speak to me, stopped being intimate about 9 months ago.

says that he can’t handle my paranoia of him cheating, and then was seen with someone else at a casino. He doesn’t know I know that

We have a 2 year old and a 6 year old.

Still live together until the temporary order hearing.

I manage my depression with antidepressants and anxiety medication, but I am truly feeling symptoms of depression for the first time in years. This has completely broke me down. Effects work, being a mom and I have been through so much in my life.

I am a recovering addict who was incarcerated over 14 months. My kid sister died from cancer and she was only 17. I’ve been sexually assaulted by someone much older than me. Yet this, this has been the most devastating.

The pain is temporary, but I feel so alone.

You have come to the right place; Welcome to the Community, there are several of us who have gone though divorces, one way or another, and many have children too. Pull up a chair and get comfortable.

We will help in any way we can.

Cheers, Midori

I’m so sorry. I can say I’ve been through something similar. It’s awful you’re Jewett feels like it’s breaking. Just be the good mom to your children you are. Love them as much as you possibly haven’t felt love. That is what I do . My son looks at me and I just know he knows he’s the love of my life. At least I got the best thing in my life from the worst person to ever come into it. They have you. They’re lucky to have a mom who loves them and wouldn’t hurt them or abandon them like we’re been. I’m just guessing maybe you don’t feel that way. It’s just my feeling. I hope you’re ok. You will be. Therapy and psychiatry helps and sometimes medication for a while to get you through the worst times. Sending prayers your way

Hi, I am in a similiar situation, but I am unable to leave. It is a terrible feeling and definitely plays into depression. I know there are divorce support groups for free near me. Since your medication work and for the most part your depression is under control, getting that support for other people may be able to get you over that hump. You can even make a friend with kids going through the same thing. Yeah, it is so hurtful and it is betrayal. You are sad. Like someone said, your kids love you and be the good mom you are. I am so sorry. I know the feeling.
