Looks like I'm joining in.

Hello all. Looks like I'm going to be a single mom. My husband has been threatening to leave for a few weeks now and he walked out on us today. I have a 3 year old daughter with mild special needs and a 3 month old son. And I'm terrified. I have no idea what I'm going to do or how I will manage by myself. I work very late nights so I'm concerned about child care until I can adjust my shift at work. If I can even do that. I just came back from maternity leave and I'm flat broke at the moment. We barely made it with two incomes. I have no idea how I'll make it on my income alone. I feel like I should fight for my marriage but I can't do it alone. I can't make him want to stay with us. When will this fear subside? Any words of wisdom or comfort would be greatly appreciated.
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 1Samuel 1:27 Image and video hosting by TinyPic Lilypie Third Birthday tickers Lilypie First Birthday tickers Team Peeta Tag Pictures, Images and Photos

    Years later I am married and now expecting again. I just want to tell you that there are me

    If he has any class and cares about his kids, he will not leave you in the lurch financially. He HAS to pay child support.
