My husband has left me, 6 year old and 5 month baby. Katiejon/Just eat.

I've posted b4, dh has now walked out.
He packed a suitcase in front of dc's, stormed out angrily and drove off.
He hasn't contacted us since.
His family say they don't know where he is.
His secretary said he was at work, I made up some lie to find out if he had contacted her, cos after 48 hours of no contact, I was going 2 report him to the police as missing.
Solicitor said to wait and see wot happens.

He's been back for a few days.
I think I'm happier without him! but I need him to help with child care.

Can you try to sort alternative child care in the meantime, so that you get yourself options?

What has he been like?

Am trying to do that, to give me time to think.
Problem is, dd wants to be with me or dh the whole time, at the moment.
Just functioning together.
I was ill in bed all day yesterday, possible sinusitis, did he offer me a drink!!

He won't do nice things for you, no.

It's possible that the stress of making a decision and having him around is making you ill.

On a plus note, you know where he is now so if you want to serve papers you can.

How are you today OP? And how is DD? Do you have any alternate childcare options to help?

But if you end up leaving him then you'll get no childcare help, although you'll get more of a break if they go to their dads every other weekend. Was he able to manage when you were in bed ill?

You could think of it like this: if he was suddenly gone or he died, you'd have to find ways to cope.
Try to find them now.

I think I'm ill cos of stress from last week.
SPD also playing up cos of carrying and lifting baby a lot last week.
DD is much better.
