    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      My husband just kicked me out, I got a new place july 6. I did stay with my dad for a few weeks prior to getting my own place. He is gone and accepting that is so hard for me. I am choosing though now to take the ball out of his court. He brought someone else into our home claiming they were just friends and that she had no place to go. I don't know maybe they are just friends. I doubt it though. If he wants this family back he will have to prove things to me.
