10707428 tn?1415569790 I have no one here in Croatia. I only have one friend and she lives an hour away. She is really helpful and willing to let me stay as much as i need but i dont want to abuse her goodness if you know what i mean. She is helping me pack right now and will help me move to her place even though its not that close. I have a family in the US ive know my whole life, they're not really my family, my family is deceased and i have no one else.

A heart problem and also other issues....
Avatar f tn My husband wants to get a divorce and says it's over, he asked me to make a choice , either leaving the house or he will leave, I don't think Iam in the right mental state to be able to handle the houses responsibilities right now, so that means I wld have to go to my mothers where my little sis is an active alcoholic and her friend is also who lives there with her, I just don't know what' the right choice is for me.
Avatar n tn I personally do not agree with this idea, and the research has not supported the notion that mothers having primary physical custody is necessarily the best thing. It is very important for the divorce not to cost him his relationship with either parent. A child in a joint custody situation does have extra stress, but with lots of love and attentive parenting he can be ok. You can expect tears at drop offs, and him saying he does not want to separate from whoever he is with.
773464 tn?1246838035 No offense, but it's really hard to read what you have written - are you deeply depressed and want to get out of your marriage? Are you looking for advice about your depression or about how to get a divorce? If it's about divorce, you should talk with a lawyer.
Avatar f tn Thanks everyone for the advice. We live in Wisconsin. We've been married 23 years with lots of up and downs. He is also a control freak and will try to intimidate me. Tonight he told me that I stepped out of bounds he would drop me from his open enrollment for group Insurance.
5111430 tn?1377663221 s shelter for a week came back things got better for a while got married then he acting like a **** again! Anyone have any advice about divorce and child custody that's been through this?
Avatar f tn It's never easy but can be done. If Ur in an abussive relationship get out ASAP!! 1st for Ur safety, 2- for Ur babies safety. It is unfair & unhealthy for U & Ur child. Ur husband/boyfriend cannot take Ur child away fr U (whether U work or not). U have to be an unfit mother by being very neglectful or by using drugs. U don't necessarily need an atty, call the court they can help (there usually is a court clinic that works w people).
Avatar f tn m still legally married to someone else and he refusing to file for divorce. I served him paper two years ago but signed them to late. SHOULD I tell him about the baby in hopes that he will then file for divorce. Or just let him discover my growing baby.
Avatar n tn I am 10 weeks pregnant and have been married that long... My husband is not nice to me in the slightest. I know that for the sake of my baby and myself I need to do something but I don't know if I'm scared or what. I have constant anxiety and because of it I have a pain in my side. Has anyone else ever asked for a divorce? How did you do it? I don't know how to approach this and I feel like I'm dying inside.
1103110 tn?1341254499 I have put in my application for divorce and for a goverment apartment, but with goverment helped there is 3 stimpulations (for the divorce). 1. all properties are to be sold and divided evenly (we dont have any property), 2. was something else, and 3. was agreed custody over our duaghter. I sat down and tried talking to him calmly, but I don't see him agreeing on it. I take care of my daughter pretty much on my own (school issues, doctors,.
Avatar n tn She announced that the marriage was over that she had filed for divorce. She took a few clothes and the kids and went next door to her mothers. I have pleaded and begged her and she says she feels nothing for me and does not love me anymore. I asked if she had cheated or if there was someone else and she stated no. She has never been one to lie to me. My world is crashing down around me, I love her more than life itself.
599170 tn?1300973893 I really need to get the meds right..I will only have insurance for limited time as my divorce will be final around April/ May.. I am currently taking Wellbutrin ( has no effect for anxiety right?) Lamictal..which is wonderful helps me from constant worry and racing thoughts..and Deserol ( another anti depressant ) at bedtime its supposed to also induce sleep. Problem I have horrid scary nightmares on this med..wake up feeling not rested.
Avatar f tn t start until we were separated and I had hired divorce attorneys. Any advice. Also, I really care for this other man and the timing seriously *****. I would like to give the relationship a chance but it seems far fetched in this situation- I don't want to loose him though.
Avatar f tn I've been married to my husband for 11 years now. This is my first marriage, and his third. He has been controlling and emotionally/verbally abusive for most of our marriage. Six months ago, I told him that I wanted a divorce, and he told me that he would do anything to keep our marriage intact, so we went to counseling. The verbal abuse stopped, but the control didn't. I have 2 daughters, one is a teenager and one is in her early 20s, and they both live with us.
Avatar m tn 25mg and if you are still uncomfortable stopping there, half of that. You are wonderful for wanting to be clean for yourself and for your baby. It takes a lot of determination and love, but you can do it. I suggest that you read my blog on pregnancy and addiction that talks more about it. Click on my name in blue and than "blogs". Good luck to you and make sure you discuss all of this with your OB. They must be in the loop on all your medical care.

Avatar m tn I think its a bit of a rush to file for divorce she is trying to escape problems that a divorce will not solve,,,glad for the counseling...If you go to church ask you Pastor/Preist for help too. There is a female medication that is a libido booster...must ask Dr. Cheers Cherie we have a wonderful divorce forum if you think that may help with some issues.
11165184 tn?1429569382 Sounds like the pregnancy hormones are kicking in. Not talking for 2hrs a day shouldn't end in divorce. You hubby sounds like he is stressed and needs some time to himself. Suggest he take up a hobby or go out with his friends. Please dont jump right to divorce, especially when your hormones are crazy. It will be ok.
Avatar f tn Thank you all for the advice I really appreciate it
6644197 tn?1386194157 Hello ladie! I'm 20wks 2days and I'm getting very nervous for labor! I'm very sentimental and I, like most mothers, want the most positive birth for my child! But I'm worried that I'm going to go overboard with nerves after my water breaks/contractions start that the birth wont be enjoyable. I'm not just nervous for the pain, I know I have to just push through all that =) but also i'm very scared i wont feel the strong bond with my child as i should..
Avatar f tn I should probably seek a therapy but thought I'd see if I'd get people perhaps that feel the same way. I'm going through a really difficult time I'm 13weeks and 5 days pregnant which I'm really excited about however I'm 21 years old and got married beginning of December and feel that I rushed into a realshionship and marriage really fast. And got pregnant all to quick.
Avatar m tn s needs first, always.... and small babies really do need their mothers (especially if breastfeeding). Nature imbues mothers with the most incredible primitive instincts when it comes to their children. Now I"m not saying that fathers cant make equally good dads, but its just different for babies. The other thing to consider is how you get on with your in-laws...if you think they would be a good influence and supportive grandparents, maybe you should consider moving.
Avatar f tn know what.. its you and your bf choice if you wanna get married or not.. dont let your parents choose and decide for you.. just enjoy.. in the future should the course change at least you decided well.. divorce is a hassle.. if you dont wanna get married yet its ok.. no big deal as long as you're a responsible parent..
Avatar n tn There are specific programs around the country for kids whose parents are going through a divorce (e.g., Banana Splits). Perhaps this is something that your son's therapist or the school could offer advice on. How much can you and his father work together to address the issues with your son? How involved is he in dealing with your son's problems?
Avatar m tn t keep fighting there money. Mother is know paying for everything for ex-wife.Thanks for listening and responding.
