    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      he left us when i was 7 months pregnant. it was supposed to be for a job, and i moved the whole family out there no knowing that he was leaving us!no indication whatsoever until my son and i were out there almost 3 weeks. he told me over the phone that he didn't love me anymore, hadn't for a long time, it was over, and there was no hope for reconcilitaion. so i had my family come out and haul my 9 months pregnant tail back home, filed, and had the baby 6 weeks early.he wasn't there.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      it went very well, or it seemed to. then he left. he said he went ot shut me up, didn't intend for it to help. just gave it lip service.
      Family Therapy Too Soon to Tell
      i'm in therapy individually to deal with depression. and our son and i go to family counseling to help him deal with this. he's having a hard time.
      Leave Working / Worked
      i firmly believe that we would have stayed together if i'd physically stayed. but he would have considered himself absolved of marriage vows and duties and considered us roomates from then on.it would have been bad for the kids, and there would have been major custody issues.
      Love Not Working
      i'm trying to act in love and not be vindictive. it's hard, he's playing dirty. it's breaking my heart to keep turning the other cheek.
      Music Working / Worked
      helps me cry if i need to, dance if i need to, or sing out loud to make my son laugh.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      i've only been a couple times, and i mostly cry and use up all of her tissues.
      Reading Not Working
      self help books make me feel a bit hopeles at the moment.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      i know it's tiring for them, draining. some days i put on the game face and pretend to be ok. most of them accept that at face value and continue to stay close by for when i break down and need to talk or company.
      Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
      i've joined a church. and there are support groups in the are i'm going to start attending, childcare issues allowing.
      Talking Working / Worked
      it really helps get it all out on the table and out of your head. writing also helps a lot. i have a journal that is almost full already.
      Time Too Soon to Tell
      i keep hearing how well i'm doing. i don't feel that way. we'll see...
