Here goes nothing.

DH came home Monday morning after not showing up till 5 in the morning saying he wants a divorce. Its along time coming, im heart broken but I knew it would happen. I was young and stupid for getting married, especially to some one with the issues that DH struggles with. He cheated on me a few times while we were married and I gave him a few more chances. We separated 2 months ago to see if we could pull a hail marry. We got back together 3 weeks ago and it just does not seem to work.
He's not happy, I have not been happy or myself for the 3 years we were married. So we start the divorce process. Im not thrilled with this, but I am young and I have a full life ahead of me.
I guess the point of this is for support. I am feeling okay today but I know some days will be better then other.

*hugs* I am sorry it didn't work. Like you said, you are young, beautiful and a full life ahead of you <3

You'll be fine, mama. You live and learn from it and it makes you become a better person, a stronger person. You will now know what you do and do not want in a relationship.. .And most importantly, what you will or will not settle for.

Keep your head up girl! Its hard! I went through one 5 months ago and its still a day by day process, you can message me if you ever wanna talk=)

Oh ladies! Thank you, your words mean a lot.

Oh sorry hun, you will be fine. Stay positive it is hard and not fun. But worth it in the end. Find someone who makes you happy. Or just make yourself happy.  

The best advice I can give you is stay busy, keep your mind occupied with other things and realize things WILL get better

goodluck with everything, dear. stay strong. if you ever need to feel support or to vent about the process, you'll always have BG.
and you're right. you're young and you have a full life ahead of you.

It's all going to work out. There's somebody out there that deserves you, good luck.  

He is super chill about it, he is a good dad. Im hoping we can figure it out to where our co-parenting relationship is friendly. I want my daughter to have 2 parents that get along. Not at each others throat. Im hopefully, but hurt.

Good for you hun. That's what's important and I know too many people that try to use the kids as pawns.
I hope you heal quickly.

Same here! Which we have 50 50 and we agreed to get along that didn't happen.

Hi MamaH,
I'm sorry your family is going through this.  Even though you feel it's been coming on for some time...it's still takes an emotional toll on each of you. When I was reading your post, I thought of a couple of books that might be helpful to you as you walk through this season. This first one is to help your children... What Children Need to Know When Parents Get Divorced by William Coleman. The other one that I hope would be good for you is....A Woman's Guide to Healing the Heartbreak of Divorce by Rose Sweet. Please let us know how you're doing. Blessings!
