My 1st court day is coming on July 11th - I was granted temp custody by the lady judge (not really a surprise because of the abuse) but I'm feeling wired as I have NEVER in over 20 years of marriage been on the opposite side of my husband in a legal matter. I keep having to tell myself - it was his choice by getting angry and not getting help when offered. still, sitting in a court room not in support of each other is so surreal. The nice lady judge told me not to have a false sense of safety as TRO is only a piece of paper. Said I understood that. Still - I feel fuzzy - like maybe I want to wake up and this would have all been a nightmare....but I know it is not a nightmare. and i will have to be strong enough to travel down this road.....stbx told me today on the telephone "I'm trying" to do better....I said, you have been telling me that for over 2 years and things have only gotten worse, I don't want to hear "I'm trying" anymore (I did say it kindly) but still....is it normal to feel strange when all of this is happening?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
Someone explained it like this to me recently - you've been married a long time and that has become your reality. Knowing that it is no longer your reality causes your mind to feel a lot of discomfort. Don't know if that makes sense or not - but I've definitely felt what you are feeling.
Please understand you are not alone-this community site is good for you and be sure to build up a support system-that is so important.
I am sure you are a great mom and doing the best for you and your kids. Just like me you are a survivor. Just keep thinking positive and take one step at a time. I will talk to you anytime you need someone to talk to. I know what you are going thru.
