About Me
I am a 37 yr old women that has been struggling through a divorce for the past 3 yrs. Along with a lengthy Child custody battle over where our 9 1/2 yr old daughter will live primarily. I am seeking extra support from people who have gone or are going through something similiar. My family & friends are a great support system, but none has gone through a divorce like mine.

Close Breakups & Divorce
I have been in the courts for a legal seperation/divorce for the past 2 1/2 yrs.Along with a lengthy child custody battle over where our 9 1/2 yr old daughter will primarily live.I've moved close to my family, but looking for extra support from people who have or are going through similiar.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Too Soon to Tell
- This can't work for us as my ex (spouse) is not willing to get individual therapy, and won't agree to couples therapy.
- Family Therapy Working / Worked
- I have had our daughter & myself in therapy for the past 3 1/2 yrs, and this has helped us both extremely.
- Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
- I continually tell myself that I forgive him for what he's done, but he keeps doing that same so it's not working. I continue though.
- Leave Working / Worked
- Yes it did help about 90% when I moved our daughter & I out of the family home, but then the legal court stuff started. So it is better then before, but it's VERY hard.
- Love Working / Worked
- The love & support of family & friends always helps, but it doesn't take away the hurt.
- Music Working / Worked
- This helps sometimes, but for short amounts of time.
- Pets Working / Worked
- I have 2 cats, and a dog (two I left with),& they really do help keep me company. They don't talk so I'm still lonely.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I have been attending therapy sessions, and many different support groups for the past 3 1/2 yrs.This has made a HUGE difference, but have not found a divorce/abuse related one to help with these issues.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- I started reading many books on children & divorce, divorce, abuse, etc. But with all the stuff I go through in a day I have little concentration to read & absorb what I read. So it hasn't helped much yet.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Yes this is extremely helpful, but they haven't gone through something like this (not even divorce) so it's hard for them to know how to help. I don't want to burden them all the time when they can't help me understand why this is happening.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Yes it has helped, but then you go home alone.So it's ok.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Yes venting helps alot, but if it's to my family & friends it makes me feel bad that I'm burdening them with my worries. So I am trying to reduce telling them everything. I also vent at my therapy sesssions & support groups which helps also but they are all going through different things (not divorce related).
- Time Working / Worked
- I tell myself all the time "In time it will all work out for the best, and will be ok". I'm not sure it's working yet though.
Close Child Support & Custody
To help me gather support related the the divorce & child custody battle I've been going through for that last 2 1/2 yrs.
Open Children Of Divorced Parents
I am looking for support as I have a 9 1/2 yr old daughter, and have been going through a divorce/child custody battle for the past 2 1/2 yrs. Looking for advice, comfort, and support.
Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I am fatigued all the time. I am a 37 yr old, and have been taking naps during the day for the past couple of years. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid a few years ago, and is also going through a divorce for the past 2 1/2 yrs so all the doctors want to blame it on depression when I know I'm just tired.
