Heres my story...3 months ago (2 weeks before chrsitmas)I called my husband from wal-mart to tell him I was on my way home I just finished grocery shopping with my 3 year old and I was 7 1/2 months pregnent. thats when he decided to drop the bomb tht he didnt love me anymore and that he was moving out. So there I was standing in line at the store hearing this. So i get home and as i walk in the door he startes being so mean to me it was like he was a different person. I tried to talk to him but he had it set in his mind that he was leaving. this came out of no where. We had not been fighting things were going ok. So at first I thought it was a phase, but he came to me 2 days later and said that he found an apartment and he was moving out that weekend. I was devastated, here i was 7 1/2 months pg and with a 3 year old just days before christmas. I knew i had to be strong for my little boy and i could not get upset cause i was pg. So I went on with chisrtmas and made it a very happy day for my son, until his father came to pick him up on christmas day. when he got there he started calling me every name in the book screaming and yelling which in turn made my son very upset and he said that he didnt want o go with his dad which i didnt make him go he was to upset. The exchange of our son was not a fun one until one day i told him that until he could act like an adult and put our sons feeling first then we would not do this anymore. So after that he started acting right. Fast forward to Feb. I was due on Feb 21 but i was going in for a planned c-section on Feb 13 the night before about 10pm my husband called and told me that he didnt want to be there when our child was born cause he didnt want to have to sit in the same room with me, I told him that he was being childish but i didnt want to get upset and just told him that he was the one that would regret it cause once it is over he would lose it forever. well he was not there and i did just fine my sister came in with me. He showed up about 4 hours after he was born and tried acting like the proud papa. Well sine then he has spent about 5 forced hours with our new little one. He wants to fight about everything. He does not feel that he has to talk to me about anything nor does he feel that he should have to pay me more that just 40-50 per week cause anything over that would allow me to live in the lap of luxery which is far from the truth. Up to the point of the birth of my 2nd son i wanted to work things out everything up until then was forgivable but everyday that passes i have more and more resentment towards him, he has forced me to apply for assistant for my children and i have worked very hard to keep my kids off of welfare. well sorry so lenghty I was just looking for an outlet and maybe some advice or a friend thank for reading

Oh no!

I'm so sorry to hear about all of this! Frowner

If you happen to see this.. find the site..
www.divorcebusting.***

It will help you deal with your anger and resentment towards him, as well as give you more people in similar situations to talk to.

If you wish to try and reconcile, you will find some good insight there.

Best wishes for you and your young family!

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your situation. I think you are amazingly strong. I am not. I cry constantly. I'm in the process of getting divorced and I feel scared, insecure, lonely, depressed. I don't have any friends or family in the USA. I'm glad you're coping and I pray God gives us both the courage to deal with whatever comes our way.
