I can hardly belief I am posting this, my husband (been together over a decade) has left me and my two young children. We separated around 10 months ago but I was trying to coparent and keep things as normal as possible for the children. I suppose I did hope he would see sense and come back to his family and we would be able to work things out, but mainly wanted to do what was best for the kids.
Fast forward to now, I found out the reason we separated was around 8 months prior to us separating he had cheated on me when my youngest was barely 1 year old while he was working abroad. During the separation period he treated me appallingly and was cruel and nasty but I still tried to be civil for the kids sake.
His whole family was aware of this other women and he has had her over in the UK for the last few weeks. No one told me. My husband told me had to work nightshift so couldn’t collect the children on the agreed days, while he was in fact sight seeing with this women. Since separating he has been staying with his parents and they welcomed this women into their home.
The first I knew of any of this was I received messages from a fake FB profile.
I really do not mean to offend anyone but to add to the humilation the women he has ran off with is a Filipino maid.
I have been struggling with depression probably since we separated and have recently been put on medication. I just don’t know how to move forward with my life. I desperately want to do what’s best for the children but trying to keep things normal for them has been such a strain. While separated I still relied on my husband to help with stuff and I’m just overwhelmed and struggling to try and do everything myself. So much so I have recently been signed off work. The stress of that is not helping at all, as I need to provide for myself and my children.
