Please someone help

[houseproudme]

My husband walked out on me tonight I don't know what to do or how to go on
We have 5 kids
Feel like I should end my life

Please don't, think of your kids if nothing else. Do you have anyone you can talk to or that could come over?

I have no advice, but I didn't want to read and run. Don't end it. Hold on. Someone brighter and better than me will say more useful things, but right now I wanted to say you are supported here. And you will be supported in real life too. I'm so sorry this has happened.

Incidentally, my mum raised five of us by herself after my dad fucked off. She is my hero and I hold her as my strength and inspiration. I believe in you mainly because of her.

The five kids are exactly the reason you need to hold on!
I really feel for you, I've been through it before and am currently going through something similar again although to a lesser degree.
I wish i could say more to help you right now, but in the meantime is there anyone you can call?
Can anyone come sit with you?

Handhold here.

More fool him - it'll be his loss in the end.

Can you call somebody to be with you?

Hi lovely

You will be fine. Go and see what you'd be entitled to and how much he'd have to contribute.

Please don’t do it. He is not worth it and your kids need you. It may seem awful just now but you will come through. Take a minute at a time, then an hour and so on. Don’t think too far ahead. Your kids need you and will know you stood by them when their dad walked away. Call the Samaritans if you need to talk to someone if you feel you are not ready to confide in family or friends. That’s what they are there for. Good luck and stay strong. You have it in you even if you don’t feel like you do. It will get easier, it just takes a while

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Have you told anyone? A friend, parent, or sibling maybe?
Is there anyone who can come to you? Obviously harming yourself isn't the way, but I do think you need someone to help you through the first couple of days at least.
There is a way through this and you will find it. Make some quick plans for an easy day with the kids tomorrow and give yourself some space to process this before you have to deal with their emotions on top of your own.
You need to get legal advice and sort out the practicalities, but first you need to take a short time to get all this straight in your head.

Would it help if you make a list of the practical things you need to do, like going to citizens advice to see to what you are entitled, and doing a budget? See if you can find his salary details and bank account details and stuff like that. Check to see how much money you have etc.

Could your mum or a sister, or friend handheld for a few days?

Do you have any family or friends near you?

Please keep calm for the kids. They need you...they love you and they are precious.

You'll get through it. It's raw now ..but if you can get someone round tomorrow to be with you.

Was it an argument? Or just out of the blue?

Another here, holding your hand.

You’ve had a shock. Get through one minute at a time. Many of us have been through similar and felt like our world had ended, but have come through it and you will too. We are here to support you
