Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Yep. I have had the worst week since I lost a parent a few years ago. He cheated and I found out because he got drunk and told me and showed me pictures of them together. I got her number and asked her nicely not to see him because we have a baby at home.
He wants me to approve of his behavior because he pays the bills. He says I cannot take care of myself because I chose to go back to college and I don't have full time work. Tells me to deal with it because I don't have a say.
I am so upset. I had with feeling since I went back to school that something was wrong. I am consciously aware of my suicidal feelings. I know I cannot leave my baby, but I'm dying a slow painful death inside.
I wish he would just go to her house and leave us.
Your prayers and kind words are appreciated.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
You may not have full time work but child support might just fill that gap of funds you need until you can get something full time as it would be quite simple to get a divorce...grab those pictures and hide them someplace safe.
...I know that as soon as he showed you her picture that suicide was the first thing you thought of doing. It was the easy way out. If you were gone then so would the pain and then they could just do whatever! Yep...been there too...he isn't worth it...but your baby is worth your life.
If you leave him, contact the school to see if you qualify for a scholarship for single mothers. Also, don't forget the Pell Grant that is based on income.
I am here if you want to talk...
Not knowing that much about you it;s hard to know what to say.
He sounds incredibly egotistical and abusive. He thinks that he holds all of the cards and you have none to play.
For me, if this happened I would be having the same thoughts as you.
I might also think these other things if I had a rational moment:
If you are married, I'd go to an attorney and, given the circumstances, get every penny out of him that I could. Nobody should, have a child and then blatantly cheat and expect that other person to just put up with it.
He may be waiting for you to make a move--I'd kick him out. Change the locks and ask the attorney about child support and/ or alimony and a parenting plan.
I would also wondering if there were a friend or family member that could move in with you or vice versa while you get through this difficult period in your life. In any case, feel free to friend me or send me a private message. So sorry that this is happening in your life.
In case you did not know, there is a board here titled "infidelity" that is geared for people in your situation. You should go there as there are many people there that can give you plenty of support for what you aregoing tthrough.
