    • I’m With You

      From Kat11 February 10, 2007

      I just read your last journal entry and I'm with you. My ex left to be with a woman who was supposed a "mutual friend" my ass. Anyhow he barely is there for our son and when he is our child can never quite live up to dad's expectations its always well good job BUT you could have done better nice way to lift him up and put him down all in the same breath. The other woman has 4 kids boy that will get old and he used to refer to her as a skanky ho well have fun with that. It just makes me want to scream sometimes. I know I'm not perfect but I was always there on his side no matter what he was my partner, best friend everything. Now I'm left wondering what I could have done differently but I can't think of one this because he would have left anyway. I know he's searching for something he will never find because he needs to find it within and not from others but it still doesn't take my pain away. Hopefully in time we will both heal and enjoy life the way we deserve to. Hang in there I'm always here if you ever want to talk.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      My husband of 8 yrs and I separated after struggling for the last few years. He became verbally and emotionally abusive and I became scared for my physical safety, and that of our baby boy. So I made him move out. Since, he's declared war; he's obsessed with it and it's a daily struggle to rise above it. Sometimes it's all so overwhelming and I just want to scream, but I feel like I have to be the stable one for our son. I need someplace safe to vent. I hope to provide that for others, too.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Only works when both parties participate.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      It's been very helpful, but sometimes I worry that I rely on them too much. I don't want to become the "toxic" one that nobody wants to talk to anymore.
      Support Groups Somewhat Helpful
      It was for a finite time and it's over now. Group fell apart after the last session.
