Sorry this is long you guys but I need to vent...my husband and I have gone through the divorce process today. We've been dreading this process and avoiding it for a while now. We have just decided that we do love each other but the circumstances are not in our favor. It's a very heartbreaking moment for us. We tried everything but just couldn't make it work.
he is returning to his home country and I am here with DD. I'm packing all of this stuff and it's sad. The things you aquire when with someone is so much more than it seems when you're together. It's every little thing that has to be trash, yours, or mine. It brings back memories, good and bad, and it's such a sad process (not to mention a pain in the ass with all the paperwork). I've cried too much to explain and we keep wanting to say we can fix this but I think it's the fear of reality. It can't work.
In the end, no one is at fault, it's a mutual agreement, we just failed. Failing is a hard thing, especially when there's a new being involved, but in the long run its for her. We can't allow her to grow up in a household where mom and dad are miserable. That would teach her that's okay, and it's not.
Im joining the single mothers club, on my own. I'll be living with my parents for now because I'm still in school and I'll be getting a job, because I was a SAHM.
This sucks you guys. I'm closing a chapter of my life, and I'm not sure I'm ready for the next. Please wish me luck in my journey in life without my best friend....
Re: It's official...wish me luck
While being a single mom is hard, just imagine that you'll be the one that she comes running to for comfort when she gets a booboo. She will have so much love for you. Know that you CAN do this. Your DD will see how strong her momma was to go through such a difficult process and see her momma come out even stronger than ever before.
You've got this momma!
