Are there any other women who have left their family home to their husband in the divorce. Just about everyone I know who is divorced or separated has stayed in their home or sold it and went their separate ways. It feels like he will always have an advantage over me because my daughter will think of it as her home. I am leaving her bedroom in tact and he is keeping most of the furniture, so it won't change much after I am gone. I will make our new home as much to her liking as I can but it won't be the same.

It will be the same, home is where the heart is and even at an early age kids will adapt to change better than we think. Let her be involved in the process of making a new room just for her. Why didn't you keep the house?

I can,t afford the house and also it is on 4 acres which is just too much for me to take care of alone. I hope your right. I have tried to involve her but she is not very interested.

Hi,
I agree with glin. The important thing is that your daughter have a place in your new place! ~P

i don't WANT to live in the house. there are too many memories there. i want to start over in a new place with a fresh start. i really don't want a whole lot. i want to feel better. your old "house" is not a home without you there! i know we will feel better. but when?

My husband moved out and I have stayed in the house. I will be here until October at least. After that, I dont know. On one hand I want to stay on the other I want to leave and start with something fresh. But I love where I live as well so I figure I can just make some cosmetic changes from the way things were to the way I want them to be. We are actually working to do what we can to keep the place and would rather be able to hang on to it but supporting 2 households is very tough right now but then again, I dont feel all that bad because he chose it, not me.

I let her have almost everything! After the lies and cheating...all of it meant nothing to me anymore!!!
It is a time for new beginnings with you and your daughter, and you will make a new home so no matter where she is, she will be at home!!
