I asked my husband to move out in October. We were both unhappy living together and our house was becoming a melting pot of anger, frustrtation and tension. We both agree that divorce is the right option and he has said he won't contest anything. It was going ok until the last week.
I have a professional job that I don't normally find difficult but due to some competing pressures at the moment it is really hard with long days. I have DD and the Ddog living with me in the house we are trying to get ready to move out of. I've been doing all the sales stuff and it is finally completing in a fortnight. We bought a new place knowing it needed a little renovation but the job is far more extensive than I expected. My parents are looking after the builders for me (new place is near their house and they are retired) but that seems to mean ringing me every hour to ask question about taps and washing machine locations and under-pinning. I work full time from home so am working in a pile of boxes containing my husbands stuff as he currently has packed up but doesn't have anywhere to go. I need to move in with my parents for months whilst our new place gets renovated and my husband will continue to live in our touring caravan until he gets his butt in gear to rent a flat.
I feel like I am drowning in paper work for house buying, selling, divorcing, school letters and work. I am now like a chicken in the headlights over any decision. I am not sleeping worrying about how to fit it all in during the day. Work feels like an unconquerable mountain. I worry I am not spending quality time with kid or dog as I am just running my arse off to get the next job done. My parents are lovely but I don't think they realise just how far under water I currently feel and how much I don't care about the type of tap that goes on the sink in my new bathroom!
Husband just started a new job so has no time for school runs in the week or overnight childcare (he starts too early in the morning). He is also useless with paperwork so is no help there.
Anyone else drowning not waving?
