I would also like to talk to someone.
I'm needing advise. I'm scared and feel alone. Afraid of starting over and finding myself again. I thought I knew who I was.
I'm in a abusive ( emotionally) situation, but need out.
I haven't been on his banl accout for years...so I don't know how to file for a divorce.
He talks to a woman on the phone..I've heard part of it. But he covers his steps. I figure he doesn't want to pay for a divorce because of the money he would have to pay me.
And I don't have money to live anywhere...
any suggestions or help please?
I feel so lost.......

Penquinrbc, I hope you are in a better way today. I'm new to this forum and I must say, I just recently experienced my first panic attack after coming to terms that my husband wants a divorce. He told me 3 days ago. I'm just now getting a clear head about it. I have the support of my family, but there is just nothing that can counteract the feeling you get when you realize that all of you sacrifices, love, time, and everything that was given up for the sake of the marriage...all of that being taken away from you by a man who was supposed to love and care for you the rest of your lives. There isn't a word for that feeling, but that is how, I too, feel. But you know what, you are still young and beautiful. Embrace your pain, and use it as fuel to reclaim your life. I have 2 kids to live for, so they are the ones I have to do better by. I don't know your full story, but EVERYONE has something to hold on to in this life. Find it...
