it's been 4 weeks now since H's shock announcment that he wanted a divorce. I have been home since that day and gone back to the house twice. once leaving after an awful arguement. anyhow, today my DB and his GF brought their scan pics down (12 week ones) for all to see - I want to get intrested and involved but it's just so hard for me to - I had a m/c 1st sept, I was 4 weeks further on than SIL.

all I keep thinking is I should be ahving my scan pics, I should be 16 weeks PG by now and happy at home with my husband

saw H yesterday and things are pretty set. he's sure this is what he wants but there's spo many un answered q's for me - I want to move forward but can't for the mo - he won't change his living status so I can't get an eviction notice, the council won't help me and now my parents are getting funny.

I don't know what will become of us (DS and I) or where we'll end up - and it scares the life out of me. I know I have a good support network in RL, with family althou not really any friends here any more.

I went to a fmaily party tonight hoping to at least have a smile and ended up coming home after 1 drink and an hour - what good is going out if your make up looks crap cos you're crying??

to make things worse tonight i've texted H and asked if he's sure this is what he wants and if he's happier without us there - the hosue is such a shit tip it's unbeleiveable. i'm ment to be moving back there next week till we get evicted (prob 4 months ish) and will have to stay there alone all over the xmas period . have had no reply form H - it's not reached his phone I assumne he's in his room - in which case he's doing god knows what wiht god knows whom after going out on the piss last night.

DavidTennantsMistress · 09/10/2007 13:25

well am going back there today - only till tomorrow then back on sunday am leaving DS there sat night assuming all is well to come home and sort the rest of things this end.

M&D keep saying the slightest bit of trouble pack a few things and come bac home - they don't want me to take everything back there just in case.

MIL text yesterday and said she's not heard from H or me either for 2 weeks are we ok - H is working extra etc - he was till 10.30 last week.

guess the army in a weird way might be on my side after all? still think they're all tossers thou and don't have much time for them..

on the plus side thou had a lovely school pic of DS done yesterday the lady got a real good one, and mums agreed to take me to see DT in hamlet or labours lost love for my xmas treat. YAY! not till next oct time to fit in with her school but YAY! hopefully i'll see DT.

I completely know where you are coming from here.

My H left us 2 weeks before Christmas. I went to all the family parties over christmas and new year thinking I'd be surrounded by those who love me and I can could relax and have a laugh.
Every time I'd end up in tears. And sitting with your family all in couples, sharing looking after their kids, while you're alone and up and down to ds every 5 seconds... it's the hardest thing in the world

New years eve, when everyone went outside to see the fireworks and all the couples were hugging and kissing - I sat in a bedroom alone with ds (who was fast asleep) and just hugged him so tightly and sobbed.

10 months on it's not getting any easier for me yet.

I do believe in time being a healer though. And things do happen for a reason. It just sometimes takes us a while to find that reason.

I wish I had the words to make things better.

DavidTennantsMistress · 12/10/2007 18:13

sorry you've had a hard time as well baffy.

today i'm angry and being told 'don't start' he seems to think i'm the same person I was whe I walked out - i'm not far from it. to be honest he doesn't bother with his son and he can take his stuff now and fuck off out of my house. not come back for all I care - took DS out today at 4.30pm in the cold with no shoes/socks on wringing wet nappy, no coat and no blanket over his legs then left him outside a building while he was sorting out a car and he says he's a good dad

all seems to be going so so - least i'm feeling good at the mo H is a tosser - as per usual thou! lol. back a week he saw boy all day sat sun for 15 mins and then this eve for an hour - wouldn't mind but he finishes work at 4.30 and 12.30 on a fri - obv seein his mates is far more important than seeing his son

my dh left this week, I know how it feels, I'm not sleeping or eating, I feel like shite, he is staying with family at the moment and to top everything off, my sis was taken to hospital earlier this week and we found out today she tried to commit suicide, i'm trying to get out for dd's sake but its the night time that I hate coz thats when it all goes round my head and I ended up pacing the house looking at his stuff, I'm trying to get mad with him but at the moment i can't, life is completely crap at the moment!

DavidTennantsMistress · 19/10/2007 18:27

aww honney, things will get better - I can't say when but they will do - it helps me that my H's stuff is no longer in the house - first few nights in the house were bad but we're doing ok now and i've been in angry mode pretty much all week at his lack of compitance in being a father.

was there any reason at all?

OP posts:
TLV · 20/10/2007 09:51

arguments and quite a few of the last few weeks but nothing that i didn't think we could get past, apparently i'm thick skinned he said, i'm not contacting him tho I'm leaving that up to him, i'm hoping things will work out eventually but part of me thinks this is really what he wants, even tho he's brought back his dirty laundry!

DavidTennantsMistress · 24/10/2007 11:59

don't you dare do it for him, H has left some of his, and clothes in the cupboard if he wants it he knows where the machine is, and how to use it - he wants food he knows how to make it - I have it he can eat it but ain't cooking it!

MIL is down here next week so watch this space! lol.

why are these men such gits? keep strong you'll have wobbly days but you'll get there.
