My mood while writing this blog: Ok |
Well usually I wait until the end of the week to post on each week but I am severely distraught and worried. Things have not been good with me and my husband, For those who do not know, I filed for a divorce in January after he cheated on me for what I know as the 3rd time. I have given him too many chances. This time he pretty much expects me to be ok with it so he can live here and pay 1/2 the bills cheat on me and he expects me to be ok with it. I shouldn't get upset when he doesn't come home. For those of you who don't know me, I have no family here in Texas and so when he left I called his mom who said I should just go move to Virginia with my family where I''ll have support. (she's very unsupportive) Well I wish It were that easy, I would definately move all my furniture from Texas to Virginia and put it into an apartment and start working there and give my kids to my grandparents during the day -which would be better and less expensive than daycare -to watch while I worked to make a living there for us and things would be great! I'm an RN It wouldn't be hard for me to find a job. But doing all of that is harder than saying it! It's hard enough to move down the road much more moving out of state, plus I own this house. Well, I'm going to talk with the lawyer Friday and ask her what I should do. I'll probably end up delivering this baby alone, me and a nurse and a Dr. this time without my husband by my side. I wanted to bring in my mom, but I don't know if that is going to happen in time she lives very far away in NC. So I don't even know what to name the baby which is the least of my concerns but it is sad. I don't want to be a single mom with three kids in a state without any family. I am rebuilding my friendship network but It is hard b/c they all live kind of far and some of them knew my husband and I think know about our possible divorce and the drama, probably are waitting for him to get out of my life before they enter it. My mom said she would take my preteen (he's 13 yrs old) which would be a HUGE weight off my shoulders. caring for an infant is hard and time consuming but worrying about a teenage boy without a father is very hard for me, probably not other parents but for me it's hard. He's very helpful too! BUt I'm worried that he will get used as sort of a sit in for my husband.. For the following, mowing the lawn, taking out the trash doing a ton of things that my husband did, Which is good for a teen to learn but I'm just worried that he wont get to be a teen. Im worried the divorce will cause him to grow up too fast.
Well, tonight my husband and I talked about the divorce and I then went to bed it seemed like we had agree on it. then he came into the room (He sleeps on the couch, I sleep in the room)- He said "Are you sure that's what you want to do?/" And I said well, no I would rather stay together as a family of course but it doesn't seem to be what you want to do" Then he said "well I just don't like the way things are going right now. I'm goinjg to take your Redbox movie back and get out of here." That was around 10PM last night I woke up at 3am this morning to pee and he was still gone as usual and he had taken his work clothes. Also he said he was returning the movie and I havn't recieved email confirmation yet so I bet he slept at some woman's house and watched it there. I know he's not at a Bar b/c it is Wednesday morning now. He is like having another teenage son! It's horrible. Its very lonely with him in my life. I and I've never been all alone before and it scares me. WHo is there to care for me? I mean Will wasn't, but I need someone when I'm sick too. Everyone does. If I have to have a csection who will help with things like that. I've never had a csection before so hopefully that wont happen. I'm ready for this baby in every way except I have no support besides a few friends. I'm not really that close to all those work friends. It's not like I've had them over my house or anything. and I old highschool friends and I donj't talk that much except of facebook. I have a neighbor that I have had conversations with but never agreed to watch each other's kids ever, but I'm contemplating seeing is she wants to network and watch each others kids sometimes. but now that my husbamd will probably be gone soon I don't know how long of a maternity leave I can take and or how badly him leaving will effect the budget and lasttime he left he refused to pay child support. Then when he said he wanted to work it out I closed the case, and it was hard to oopen it. I am physically drained and overwhelmed. I cry ever day. And it's just so much to cope with I don't know where to begin or how. I am use to being organized and my life seems so chaotic and lonely. Sure I have kids but I have to care for them and there is no one to care for me. I told my husband last night beofre we talked about the divorce even I told him I needed him right now. But obviously he doesn't care.

Saturday, 6 Jun Hello greenmommy. I can definately understand how you feel about being alone during your pregnancy. However I dont understand why the pretty, beautiful woman like yourself keep opening your heart to heartbreak. U tried to work in the marriage but your husband isnt trying hard enough....sometimes you have to do things that will hurt but will show people that you are unworthy of the treatment youre getting. I am no saint when it comes to bad relationships and absolutely no Dr Phil when it comes to saving marriages I just think you should live and let go. If you have family in another state, go home and allow yourself to recieve some support. Better yourself, your family without him, because even though i dont personally know you I KNOW you can remove yourself out this smoky enviroment and begin to motivate yourself to make things work. My unborn child father and I arent together, even though it s hurting me to go through with this pregnancy alone, I am maintaining and you can. I know it's hard but just forget about tommorrow and live for today...and watch how good things with come into your life. Liz king -
Wednesday, 3 Jun I have no words that will bring you peace...but I think you have a good handle of things-or at least it seems to be that way, I know I would be a train wreck, and you seem to be pretty rationale. I hope everything works out for you with whatever decision you make. greenmommy -
Wednesday, 3 Jun Thankyou for all you your support you women are so good to me. That's all I wanted was an open ear and some advice of an outsider. Yes, I know I have to leave. I think I should atlease finalize the divorce here in Texas first and then maybe I can sell the house. I will talk to my lawyer about finalizing and letting him have the house, and letting me move out of state to be with family, I will definately bring it up to the judge b/c my lawyer seemed to freak out about it when I mentinoned it to her in FEbruary. But I sometimes think we need to speak directly to the judge and tell them our situations as mothers and find out our true rights. I know I don't have to beforeced to live here with no family help, and I know they can garnish his wadges for child support and I can get the check at my grandmas house or something until I have established a residence there in that state. IDK? Plus I am uninsured, I am on temporary emergency medicaid for me and my baby. It runs out and Will said he would add the baby but not me. Then this morning he texted me to tell me he was upset about the divorce and went drinking then got a hotel but I asked him about the movie and he said he didn't turn it in yet, I asked him about why he took his clothes with him if he didn't plan last nights' all night out event he didn't text me back just only said he doesn't want to lose his family but He NVER says I don't want to lose YOU which is what he should be saying b/c without me I feel sorry to say he has a family but it will not be under the same roof with me.

Wednesday, 3 Jun Sometimes the best and hardest thing to do is the right thing hun, so getting ready to move is probably a good thing! Once you're out of that terribly depressing situation and your life is back in order, you will seriously see how happy you'll become. My situation is a bit different, but I got out of a highly abusive marriage (in the middle of a divorce currently as I need to go to another court date) and I actually have a life now and have been so happy you wouldn't believe!! I thought I'd stay miserable and sad and lonely, but I've rebuilt my friend network, gone on a few dates even, just having a plain old good time and my spirits have been lightened 100%! I am sure you know this and other's have said before, but the kids can see how down and upset you are, so getting out with them is best! I can tell you that once you're with family and support things get to be way nicer and one day I know you'll find someone worth it to be with!! I really hope you feel better and things start looking up for you! Oh and one more thing - screw cheaters and liars! 1honeymoonbaby -
Wednesday, 3 Jun you should do what ever you can to get out of that situation with Will... I would let you mother take your oldest for a couple of weeks this summer while you get your moving plans in order... maybe giving him some space will help him not feel to involved in the situatation... I'm sure you rdaughter is going to be abigger help than you think... little girls LOVE babies... things can't get much worse... just take a few steps forward at a time... ChinaPeach -
Wednesday, 3 Jun Wow.. Thats is some tough things to face.. Having no support at this point is really one of the hardest things. I promised mysel after my first pregnancy when i did it again i wouldn't do it alone again.. YEt here i am..
I wish i could come help you... cause i really know the feeling.
I don't know i you just wanted to vent or an opinion about everything.. But speaking from someone whose come of turmoil like a million times now.. I think your just going to have to take the tough rd.. A deep breath and dig into going back to family. nothing ever changes with a man like that.. Well maybe he'll stop cheating but likely not with you ( Sorry) He's built himself into this constant circle ( I've had so many men cheat on me , it's a miserbale truth to face, you want to trust them, you want to put it all behind but it's not a reality).. The longer you stay , the longer your avoid the enevidable and putting your life on hold for yourself and your kids..
It's not easy raising kids by yourself.. But it's even harder when they see you suffering like that. Kids know.
I'm not saying pack up and move tomorrow.. but start planning, make a plan ( don't tell him or use it as bullets, cause it never works).. Its your life..time to take charge of it .
If you didn't want to hear all that right now i'm sorry.. I know what i'm saying is not an easy thing and often when i say people don't want to talk to me after cause it's a mean and awful truth.. I know having support over the internet isn't much but regardless you have it.. Something is better then nothing right?
