Take deep breaths to start with and try to calm yourself. Your worrying abotu things that havent happened yet.

Do you have a chance of working full time?

I would persue alimoney and child support. Between both of them your income will be substantially greater if awarded. Also there are state agencies that can help you until you can get back on your feet.

I was with my Ex-wife for 18 years and have two sons also 13/16. It is hard at first, but it gets better.

Try to take it one day at a time and not project a future that hasent happened yet.

Big hugs and I am usually here if you need to talk.

I am so sorry you are going through this , I know how you feel. I am also going through a divorce and along with the sadness there is great fear. I'm taking it a day at a time and for you , it may be a minute at a time. Your children are older in that way you can work full time. It is such a life changing crushing experience. You have a lot to deal with but you will be ok . It doesn't feel like it I know, I'm there with you emotions and fear are very strong, just take it one step at a time, do what needs to be done and nothing more, take it easy on yourself so your mind can have some rest, hang in there you are not alone .

Im so sorry your going through this. Just take it one day at a time...its what i keep telling myself.
there is help if you need it..you would qualify for child support, i think alimony depends on the situation and/or the state you are in...but im not sure 100%

right now, just breath...baby steps ((hugs))

fear sucks
you'll not leave it

combat it with reality
i am a solid parent
i've been good to my kiddos through thick and thin
i don't belive that they are blessed to have me...
even though they are

and they are
so
even without knowing how
you will make it through for them and yourself

You have to ensure you get spousal support from him.
You both should have an equal income

Thank you for all the support.

I left an abusive spouse with $69 to my name. He cut me off financially (among a host of other nasty deeds) cuz he would have love nothing better than to see me living on the streets!
However, I kept my cool and played my cards carefully during the divorce (It was a LONG drawn out divorce).
I hardly made any money where as my ex made a 6 figure income. We were married 24 year when I left and it took 5 years to get through the divorce. Our kids were mostly grown (we had 3....girl 20, boy 18, girl 15 at the time). Our oldest was out of the house when I left....the other two came with me, but that was short lived as he lured them back with cars, computers, and cell phones.... and then turned them against me.
However, I kept concentrating on myself. I found multiple sources of passive income and taking the small amount of money I got and built a new business which is making TONS more money than before....more than my ex.
It took time and work....but I got back up after everything was pulled out from under me and rebuilt my life.....better than before.
I've been divorced 6 years now and my life is fantastic.
I am not dating. I tried dating a few times, but....it wasn't for me....too much drama.
Things will not change over night....but I can guarantee that if you concentrate on yourself and make the necessary changes on yourself....life WILL get better.
Wishing you the best......
