    • Hug

      From modestomitchell Sunday

      Hi, I just thought I'd send a hug to you and also to say hi, How are you doing ? I'm also soon to be divorced after 20 yrs of marriage and 24 yrs living with her and it hurts so bad. I feel sorry for you you still have young children to explain what's going on to. I myself have 2 kids my son who's 18 and my daughter who's 17 and lives with her mom in Orlando, Florida that hurts the most but luckily my son only lives 15 minutes away. Never thought this would happen to me as I'm sure you are saying the same thing but life has thrown us a major curve ball that we must get past. Well thats all for now if you want to talk just get hold of me. Sincerely Mitchell

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      update 7/7/08: Husband of 13 years told me in January that he wanted a divorce. He told me he was seeing a mutual friend for 6 months prior to that. He is 43 and she is 29. We were having problems in our marriage since I was pregnant with my second child in 1998 and they were never resolved. I don't think its right that he cheated on me especially with someone we were both friends with but I guess thats the way it goes sometimes.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Went once. My husband did not want to give up the other woman as the counselor had suggested in order to work out our differences.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Went only 4 times. Had to stop because I can no longer afford to go. It was so helpful too. I went into a severe depression when I stopped going. It's a shame really.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Very helpful to me. Without their support I most likely would have committed suicide as the pain and loneliness is to hard to bear at times.
      Talking Working / Worked
      If I am talking to my husband about what led to him wanting to divorce me, it doesn't help. It only makes me sad. If I am talking to friends and family, that has helped me a great deal.
      Time Somewhat Helpful
      originally I said it was very helpful and now, I am back to being severly depressed so it is not working as it did.
    • Close Financial Challenges

      I am a soon to be divorced stay at home mom of 3. I joined this group hoping I could get help budgeting my money so that I could buy another home after the divorce. My soon to be ex and I are looking into consolidating our debt as well and need advice.

    • Open Parenting 'Tweens (9-12)

      I have 3 children ages 4, 9 and 12.

      Treatments

      Education (School) Not Working
      I had the guidence counselors speak with my 12 year old and my 9 year olds about the divorce. My son went once and my daughter went 2ce. My 12 year old told the counselor that he had nothing to say so it didn't work. It helped my 9 year old a little.
    • Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      I have a 4 year old that will be 5 in September. Hope it's ok to join this group now :).
