Really sorry to hear about what you're going through. What a difficult time for you all. Is there family/ friends around to offer practical and emotional support? If not, maybe consider talking to a counsellor- it's a lot to carry on your own and trying to hold it in front of the children will be difficult too.
I do wish you well and remember, we are hear if you wish to scream and vent!
I'm so sorry you are hurting....Gosh, I don't know what to say, as nothing I would like to say would make you feel better... but I am a daughter & grand daughter of staunch femminsts...cry without your children seeing you and then take everything you can from your "so called partner" !!...take him to the "CLEANERS"... you deserve to raise your children in happines... You are woman, & DANG IT, HE WILL HEAR YOU ROAR!!.... you & your babies don't have to suffer... make him pay for being an arse. I wish you well and given some time, you will find you are stronger & better off without him.
Thats awful, what a shock. Don't know what to say other than be kind to yourself, think things over carefully, take your time and and while you don't want to make any hasty decisions at this time it might be worth speaking to someone at the CAB Just to see where you stand ((( big hug)))
So sorry to hear that this is happening to you. Hugs and more hugs.
May I suggest you have a look at the forum on the Munsnet web site to find more support. Of course it is no replacement for real life person to person support. But you may find this helps reading the posts and there are lots of tips and pointers to help from others having relationship problems.
Just search for ' Mumsnet relationships '. You don't have to post anything.
I hope I have been of some help with this suggestion. I am so sorry you are having to go through this on top of your health problems. Hugs again. xx
So very sorry to hear this Anna. There's little we can say to take away the hurt & sense of loss you're feeling but you will feel better than this, take it day by day. Surround yourself with those who do love you, those that don't aren't worth your tears. x
im so sorry for you & your children 7 years ago my husband passed away and the only thing that kept me going was to look forward I kept saying this time nxt year it will be better...it was .xxx
Love and hugs to you. I have no wisdom or sage advice for you but please know that you are thought of and obviously being held dear in so many hearts right here in this forum. I hope and pray you find the peace within yourself to keep things together and the courage and strength to fight. You've got this and we will be here to see you through.
I have no words to make you feel better at the moment. Yes, talk to the CAB, surround yourself with people who love you, be kind and gentle with yourself, hug your kids - lots- and try not to criticise the soon-to-be ex in their hearing. Whatever else he is, he is still their father and they love him. This awfulness will not go on forever. It will get better and easier. Allow yourself to grieve for your losses. Believe me, having been divorced twice, your best revenge is to be happy. Huge hugs
I'm so sorry to hear about the situation you find yourself in. There isn't really anything I can say to make things better, but I'm a good listener if you want to talk or even have a rant!
Oh Annaslyric, I am so very sorry for your loss. It just seems to keep coming. So much for in sickness and in health. Remember it is his loss . Perhaps he is clearing out to make room for a true partner. Someone who will be there for you and not just there to use you. Your children will be a source of strength for you , as well. I raised my son as a single mother. I left his father before I knew I was pregnant. I have never regretted that choice. We are very close and I am now sisteen years married to my true partner. I was married three times before getting right lol I do sincerely believe things happen for a reason. Hang Tuff has become one of my favourite expressions. Please do not despair, who knows what is yet to come. I wish I could give you a real hug but til then a virtual hug headed your way. Let's hope karma kicks his backside repeatedly.ποΈββοΈ
Thinking of you and sending hugs. No words will seem appropriate just yet, it will take some time to get your head around it all. Be kind to yourself and talking to people on here whenever you feel the need is a must as support will help you through.
I can hear how much pain you are in, as would be anyone in that situation. It's hard enough, but then to juggle all that and be a parent is so hard.
I have not been able to accomplish the following myself :), but I've been told that when you're really hurting, remember to treat yourself as you would treat someone you loved.
Hi this is Zeus 49 I am so sorry to hear ur husband told you that after 13 years. It is very hard on you and ur children. The only love u need right now is ur children. Sometimes what goes around comes back tenfold. Unfortunately will get through it because times a healer. I wish you all the best keep strongx
Sorry to hear that your partner of 13 years is behaving like a complete arse and leaving you and the two children you have created together when you need him the most. I am sorry also that l can't console you with platitudes, because as a man I feel your partner is a git.
