[QUOTE="artana, post: 231188, member: 6186"] KJS, I was in a marriage very similar to yours, except the ex did not work. I was always the one having to do everything, plus working nights. By the end of the marriage I was close to suicidal and depressed. I felt locked in a little box that I couldn't get out of. Years later I am in a great relationship, the ugly emotions are mostly gone, and the kids are being supported by a great man. Looking back, I realize how horrible that situation was and how much it had dehumanized me. I know you feel like you can't let things drop, like everything rests on your head...I ended up in a bankruptcy because of ex. But, look around...if you don't have friends, it's time to drop some of the responsibility and make new friends or reconnect with old ones. Do not let yourself continue to be isolated. Having people around to cry to (no matter how embarrassing what you have to say may seem) is really really important. It's what let me take charge of my life again and it's what reminds you that you are a person that other people care about, like we on this board know you are. [/QUOTE]
