Avatar n tn I recommend the book Difficult Questions Kids Ask and Are Afraid to Ask About Divorce by Dr. Meg Schneide. This is the best guide to helping kids through divorce I have found to date. You can also help your child adjust by seeking the help of a psychologist or counselor who specializes in young children. Some play therapy and parenting help can make the transition smoother and help you stay attuned to your little ones needs.

Avatar n tn There are specific programs around the country for kids whose parents are going through a divorce (e.g., Banana Splits).

10707428 tn?1415569790 My husband kicked me out yesterday. He said he wants a divorce because he doesnt love me anymore. This is all so sudden, and a shock to me, because i thought we had a great marriage. My question is, i want to move outside the country, im 7 months. My question is can i fly on plane across the ocean when im 7 months? Can he sue me for kidnapping his child even though he's not born yet?

He sleeps in my bed for security, has done since his dad moved out, I shower him with love and reasurrance all the time. His life has routine and consistencey, and I am still the same on the discipline and rules as before..I really don't know what else to do?...

Avatar m tn We live in SC and the divorce laws are sticky here. I am not sure how much a divorce will cost me or how I will deal with life being "single." The guy I am in a relationship with is in the army. It just gets more and more complicated. I am not sure what to do. I want to leave my husband to be with my boyfriend, but I am unsure of the unknown of what will happen once I tell my husband. I dont think I can tell him Im cheating on him bc my BF is in the army. Not sure how that works.
Avatar f tn Like you said, the first thing is to have the divorce final. They were separated before we met. And the kids know about the divorce. However there are many things to be sorted like, the splitting of the properties, custody etc.
Avatar f tn I'm newly pregnant about 4 wks here's issue, I have been legally married for 17 years but for the last 7 years not with "ex"husband at all. We live together in separate rooms because I want to raise my 4 older children and can't afford a divorce since all our assets are tied together. I've been with another man for the last 4 years privately and in love .. Next year I was planning to take action and make things happen as in divorce papers ..
Avatar f tn Just this past summer my husband served me with divorce papers. He even tried to take my kids. But i missed him something terrible even after all the mean things he did to me. But i finally got the nerve to talk to him and i told him how i felt and we both agreed on marriage counseling. I will be the first to say i didnt think he would ever change because every summer he cheats but counseling has been the best thing for our Marriage.
Avatar f tn i was the one who called her and told her that we were together and having a baby..she doesnt have any kids and wants kids badly but is completely unable to have kids due to a histarectomy..she has been very quiet and not said anything to either one of us since..am i wrong to want him to divorce her before the baby is born or i dont want his name on the birth certificate until they are divorced???..he wants a divorce too but has little if no time off work to go speak with a lawyer so far..
Avatar n tn Both my sister and a friend have kids with dead beat dads. My sisters son begs and cries every friday afternoon not to have to go to his fathers house because his father chose to retaliate and is terrible to my nephew, but in order for my sister to get child support my nephews father demands to see my nephew every weekend. My friends daughters father refuses to work because child support gets automatically taken out of his weekly paychecks. So you guys may be in for a long road so be prepared.
Avatar f tn Besides how are you supposed to raise those kids after you divorce when you are a stay at home mom. Divorce opens up a whole new can of worms. Two things from the little tht you posted. You could be having a serious bout of depression, hormone fluctuations, or might just need to add something to your life for you only. Adult time, me time, a hobby of some sort, make a few friends and a good way to do that is to see if a moms group is active in your area and you can check that on the computer.
Avatar m tn I've been through a divorce with young kids. I was 4 years clean at the time. I thanked God my thinking wasn't scattered and cloudy with drugs and alcohol at that time in my life. The one thing that should always be the most important thing for you to remember: put your own recovery first. Don't use no matter what. Everything will fall as it will, but if you don't use and learn to accept life on life's terms you'll get through this in the best shape possible.

1339167 tn?1388277920 I am in the middle of a divorce and my ex is not the father of my baby. Both of my other children, however, are to him. My question is would it be weird to give the new baby my last name which happens to be my exhusbands last name. Obviously both of my other kids have his name but I am not sure it would be weird or not. Btw the father is not and does not want to be involved. I appreciate any advice on this matter. Thank you.
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.
