Can't get past the negative view of myself

DH left me a few months ago. Apparently he'd known that he didn't want to be with me since before we'd married but felt pressured into going along with it although getting married had been his idea.

We have a much loved DD and he now lives several hours drive away. It kills me that his need to be away from me was so great that he was prepared to be a bit part in his daughter's life rather than stay.

I adored him and I thought we'd had had many wonderful times together (until recently when I knew he wasn't happy but thought it was down to his lack of work rather than me). All those memories have been destroyed and much as people tell me nice things about myself, I can't believe them.

I have refused to attend one event that they were pushing hard for me to attend. DD went with them but still they wanted me there. God knows why.
Posted about the separation on FB and had ILs posting that they were always there for me. None of my friends commented or "liked" their messages - I think they all thought it was a bit of meaningless PR.

With property and a child I guess the £100 option isn't a possibility?

Visit www.resolution.org.uk to source a solicitor who specialises in divorce and family law and who offers a free half an hour intital consultation to establish your entitlement with regard to division of joint assets in the event that you petition for divorce.

And then begin the process of a diy divorce online. It isn't rocket science and you can use the services of a mediator if you're unable to reach mutual agreement.
