My husband and best friend decided he no longer wants to be married. He doesn’t want to try counseling or anything else- just divorce. We have an infant and just bought our new home last year. I’ve been on this journey for a little over a month now. I was a SAHM to our baby so have been in a very vulnerable position. My STBX was talking to another woman and lying to me about our finances. He had credit cards and a debt amount I didn’t know about.

I moved back to where I’m from to be close to family. I’ve located housing, and am now trying to find child care and a job. The emotional heart break on top of my whole world being upside down gets hard some days. Looking for a community for conversation, support, empathy, and understanding. Friends and family get burnt out sometimes and have their own lives and families. Feeling very alone and depressed.

@Knowyourworth welcome to MSF My Support Forums. I am sorry that your relationship is dissolving and you are put in the position where you are a single parent of an infant. Hope you get the support you need in real life and at this website.

There are so many emotions oome up when finding out that what we thought was a match that would last a lifetime turns out to be a major disappointment. You are fortunate in a way to have a child because that is someone outside yourself that needs to be cared for and it could help reduce the amount of time spent on one's own problems.

Glad you are closer to family and hoping that you also apply for any relief services you are eligible for. That is what they are for when life hands us a curve. There are also Child Tax Credit which you could check eligibility for at Federal level. Different states have different types of support for people in your situation. Any help you can get will help stretch whatever resources you have.


For example if you google search for financial assistance and the state you are in, here is what you would get for example in Michigan

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
