Dr., meds, & therapy- and don't drag your feet- the meds take 3-4 weeks to be effective (anti-deppresants. The one working for me is Celexa- untill it kiks in 1mg of Ativan helps the anxiety and crying spells but makes you tired. Good Luck!

Sure, do all those things. Maybe find a divorce support group in your area. It is brutal. You need all the help you can get.

I was married for 22 years and did not see it coming when he left me for the ow that now he has child with. I have cried and talking about it with family and friends really helps. And it's okay to cry right now you might feel like you are in limbo but as time goes by it will get better. I take it one day at a time and no matter how much it hurts, it will heal.

My sister recommended high doses of Vitamin D. I am going to try that for myself as I have been quite emotionally upset lately.

ask around there is someone else on this site going through this and i believe her children has autism also. so you would have some support in the area of the children as well as all of us for divorce support. see good things already your doubly blessed.

Married 13 years with 2 special needs kids. My husband is a porn addict and threw his affairs in my face so bad I kicked him out. I'm a stay at home mom and my son is autistic. I'm using all my muster. Do all that you are mentioning. Go to the doctor, get the meds, find support groups, call your family. Call the social worker ask for respite care and medicare for your son. I have yet to do that. It's a tought battle but moms of autistics have been toughening our hides for years. You do what you have to do to survive. The courts may make you poor but you won't be out on the streets. I'm scared a hell about finances but I know eventually I'll be able to get a job. Don't look at the whole picture. Baby steps. It's so hard and will loose it at times. But we have to fight for our kids!
