hi emeraldturtle
you could give him a choice, marriage counseling or separating. since you have been a stay at home mom, he would be responsible for alimony as well as child support. you would still probably have to get a job. look to family for assistance. there are also resouces in the community that help low income mothers with things such as child care and you would probably qualify for food stamps as well. yu would find a way to survive. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
