Hi , I have been married for nearly 9 years and have instructed a solicitor for divorce, so far i haven't had enough courage to actually go ahead with it, I have son who I adore, but when H comes home from work the tension starts I can feel my son getting stressed and anxious, we haven't had a proper relationship H and Me for 6 yrs we don't even sleep in the same room anymore, he doesn't do anything with our son, he doesn't help around the house. My M'Law can be a right bitch and I know that when and If I start proceedings things at home are going to S.... . Apparently I have grounds for divorce but taking the first step towards the unknown is hard. We're suppossed to be going away on hols soon how am I going to get through that. I can't pretend anymore but I know nothing about how to start a new life as my son wants it to be just us.

Help, do you think I should just go for it and make a clean break, we've been together for 17 years and at times it's easier to just pretend that things aren't that bad, but then he does something selfish and irresponsible and I think maybe we'd be okay on our own. I'm scared of loosing my son how will I cope on our own without any money, what benefits can we get and from where.

It sounds awful. Be brave and go for a clean break? Flowers

My 9 year marriage (17 year relationship) ended 3 years ago. Best thing to ever happen to me now looking back. Me and my children have never been happier. Be brave! 2 other friends has also recently made the leap and also feel so much happier.

What is your work and house situation?

Do you feel you have done everything to make the marriage work? I think of your answer os Yes then start to divorce.
It always feels overwhelming at the start but there are alway ways

What does your son feel about his dad?
