A separation

Diane-M

So after a decent birthday dinner out on Wednesday, we had yet another argument yesterday during which he once again mentioned separation or divorce.


I am ready for a separation. I am unappreciated, and very lonely. I have missed out on many things I wanted to do that would have given me joy because he wanted something else. I see no reason for us to be together any more. I can't live like this anymore.

I'm pretty scared....for the following reasons....I need surgery. I will not be allowed to drive and will have no one to drive me out of town for follow ups. I will not be allowed to even be on my feet...and there are pets to take care of. I am on his insurance. I make $150 a week....and cannot support myself, or pay for insurance. I will lose the house, and he will get half the money my mom left me because I stupidly put it in the joint account.

But staying together for those reasons don't make sense anymore. If I had somewhere to go I would leave. But his entire family is still intact . I really need him to go..........I'm hoping to find a lawyer that won't charge me an arm and a leg. I need to see about mom's money......

I am sorry that it has come to this for you.

By all means talk to a lawyer and find out what your rights are. You might be right about the money from your mom. Even if, would he understand and be OK with you having all that money?

pull your mom's money from joint account ASAP it is your right to all of it and none is from his side....and if you do that he may be pissed but nothing he can do...also raid any accounts he has your name on for any type of war funding you can get out of them....before he hides that money in his name only....this is not illegal...do it today or in morning tomorrow...I am sorry you have to go thru this...it sort of sux but there are cabs to get rides from and then too someone you know might help with ride even if it just the next door neighbor you know not so well....hugs bill

Do you have a friend or family member who can drive you where you need to go and help you at home? Or maybe someone from a local church can help. I was actually wondering how the situation with your husband was going. Sorry it has come to this, but I know you are strong and can take care of yourself. And I agree with Pepperman. Ask your husband if he wuld let you hsave all the money from your mom. He might sgree if he sees that it will help speed up the separation.
