[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 640701, member: 13542"] I'm sorry things are so bad now. Is marriage counseling an option? Have you already decided to leave? Is there a possibility you can save your marriage? Could you make an appointment to see a divorce attorney for one consultation to see what your options are? You would receive alimony and child support I presume. You might begin a class to bone up on your tech skills. I think when you are looking at a decision of this kind of magnitude that will impact all of your lives, you need to take it one step at a time and develop a plan. You might make an appointment with a therapist, counselor or minister, someone who can counsel you, someone to talk to and to offer you options. It's difficult to see reasonable options when you are in the midst of such a chaotic environment. I left my daughter's father when she was just 18 months old, it was a very hard decision. I was in a women's group at the time, and those women were my saviors, they listened to me, they counseled me, they supported me through that whole episode in my life. Find someone to talk to, or a group of someones, so you can begin to get clear on the steps you need to take in order to get to where you want to go. It's not easy to leave a marriage, but sometimes it's necessary for our well being and getting yourself support and clear answers to the questions you have about finances, custody, etc, will be very important. We develop the strength we need when we're faced with these kind of life challenges. Hang in there. Get yourself some support. Wishing you some peace on your journey. I know it's hard. [/QUOTE]
