I am not confrontational (I am strong which is different)I have been separated now for 9 months 4dc's and I stayed in the family home. STBXH has taken things to solicitor to move forwards now with things and I'm petrified. I was going to walk with nothing and just go ( I wanted out)I have been persuaded that because he isn't going to simply try and make me suffer (By making sure I can't afford to live)that I need to take what I am due. He is going to go mad and I know now confrontation begins. I am trying to do a degree and have no immediate family to help me with the children .I have been advised that STBXH is only having the children so regularly so that he doesn't need to pay me any maintenance(hence I won't be able to support the dc's on my own). I have sent a letter to him now stating that I'm not happy with them staying at his any more until they have proper beds and space to have privacy to sleep.
Things have already changed (He has a new girlfriend as of last week )he's already stepped off the gas with the childcare.
I don't know what I'm trying to say except it's all a mess and I just need some courage and strength from anyone that has been there.
I can't have a conversation with him I'm currently back to 1 word response from him about anything!!! our poor children don't deserve this.
This is why I nearly didn't leave as I knew how scorned he would be,my mum says there was no way I could have lived as I was anymore either.Doc has just signed me off for 2 weeks.
