I am in the process of separating from my husband. We have been together for 18 years and I know we are doing the right thing, but I feel so lost, and so close to the a pattern of destructive behaviour.
We have struggled since our DS was born almost 6 years ago and we have been hanging on for the last 2 years. I know I will be happier on my own, and he has said he will be, but I just have no idea who I am anymore. I am living with my parents, we are splitting child care and I am keeping on, keeping on. But I feel restricted and I just want time to speed up the flow of time and for the important stuff to be done ....house sold, accommodation sorted, life normalised.
I hate not knowing what he thinks of me, I hate knowing that we have failed, but I am also 100% relieved that we have parted and feel a bit liberated by the space from him. Has anyone else been here? What can I do to just stop myself from being destructive and petulant? All advice great fully received
