Oh OP I am so, so sorry. You poor thing.

Pebblesandfriends · 08/11/2018 21:24

So sorry op, that's awful. Do you have RL support? Did your husband walk out before you heard the news about your Mum? If not that's pretty heartless on his part. Keep talking, what was your Mum like?

LucyAutumn · 08/11/2018 21:28

I'm so sorry OP Flowers

I agree with everyone else, do you a good friend you can call?

rainbowquack · 08/11/2018 21:32

Sending hugs

HallowZombie · 08/11/2018 21:33

So sorry for your loss and think you will be much better off without your husband Flowers

PrincessConsuelaBannanaHammock · 08/11/2018 21:34

I'm so sorry op. What a horrible man for doing that, I'm sure he could have waited a few weeks. Do you have someone to talk to in rl? Flowers

6triesbuttingout · 08/11/2018 21:34

Sorry to read of your loss. Regards the divorce put that in the to action pile. Take each day at a time

SpottingTheZebras · 08/11/2018 21:43

I’m so sorry. Flowers

CrispbuttyNo1 · 08/11/2018 21:44

This is going to sound callous so please be assured I’m thinking of you and not trying to be cruel. Is your mums house going to be left to you? I ask because it sounds like he’s an utter bastard and it would be awful if he was entitled to a share of your inheritance. I would get legal advice as soon as you can if you are due to inherit anything .

HollowTalk · 08/11/2018 21:45

I'm so sorry you lost your mum.

Flowers

I think it won't be long before you're glad you lost your husband.

MrsTommyBanks · 08/11/2018 21:47

I'm so sorry Flowers
I have no wise words but I will pray that you find strength and peace.

6triesbuttingout · 08/11/2018 21:47

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and good wishes I’m very very , grateful I do have siblings but they are pretty gobsmacked as well. Our dad only died 10 months ago. I can’t believe how much can change in a year! But to use a mumsnet phrase I’m going to pull my big girls knickers up and get on with it! Thanks everyone x

ThanksThanks

I'm so very sorry op Flowers

6triesbuttingout · 08/11/2018 21:53

Hi crisbybuttyno1 house left to me and my two bros. I guess it will take a few weeks to sell so I will have time to open my own bank account x

Topseyt · 08/11/2018 21:55

Oh no! How awful. That was the day from hell if ever there was one.

I am sorry to hear about your Mum. Focus on yourself and your siblings now at this difficult time.

Your husband's timing could hardly have been worse. He sounds like he has had a total empathy bypass. What an utter arsehole.

6triesbuttingout · 08/11/2018 22:03

Oh thanks everyone. When I felt I couldn’t get any lower. You lot have lifted me up💐💐💐 tomorrow’s another day I’m gunna get stuck into the gin and pizza now.

Eatmycheese · 08/11/2018 22:03

So sorry that you have lost your Mother unexpectedly in this way.
If your husband inflicted that little gem upon you as you were reeling from this then I hope the fucker rots in hell.

💐🍰☕️or🍷 whatever gets you through

Eatmycheese · 08/11/2018 22:04

Ah cross post.
Gin and pizza sounds a good combo. Enjoy

Maelwaedd · 08/11/2018 22:07

Just wanted to offer a hand hold. I lost my mum and a year afterward my partner had an affair while I was still massively grieving. Worst years of my life by far, but now a year down the line I am so much happier and you will be too. Be kind to yourself you've had a massive shock. Take all the support you can get you will get through this.

Sparkingfizzing · 08/11/2018 22:07
Flowers I'm sorry OP.
loveliestbaker · 08/11/2018 22:10

So very sorry for your loss Flowers

WheelchairWoes · 08/11/2018 22:11

I'm sorry for your loss.

Also sounds like you'll be better without the arsehole of a husband! Who pulls that shit! Get your own bank account ASAP! I don't put it past him to take all the money and pull a runner at this point even if he claims he wants YOUR house.

lifecouldbeadream · 08/11/2018 22:12

Sorry about your Mum, that is very hard. Your husband on the other hand is an ARSE of the first order and no matter how it feels now you are undoubtedly well shot of a human being with so little compassion. Day by day you will feel stronger, take care OP. Xx
