Well my house is just about our of foreclosure thanks to my parents. They rescued me again. My husband is still out of the house and I miss him and the boys miss him. Athough there is not the tension there used to be when he was home. I have been working from 7:30 until 6 pm every week night for the last month and it is really starting to wear on me. I am feeling splintered, coming apart at the seams. I am having trouble remembering everything. I think it is a lot to due with the stress. Everyone I talk to says I should not let my husband move back in, but I am still thinking about it. My T does not want me to let him in, but no one understands how hard it is to live without him. Any suggestions??

(((nightowl))) Please listen to your T. Maybe in the future you will be able to "let" him back.. but for some reasons, your T says it isn't in your best interest right now. Why isn't he helping with the bills? The children are still loved by him, shouldn't he be helping, if he means to? Why would allowing him back change your financial situation, if he isn't helping now? Is the house also in his name, yet he doesn't care? If he really understands, why wouldn't he take care of these things for you? If he isn't able, why would he be able if he lived with you? You don't have to answer... just wanted to jog your thinking, if you aren't. things are better?

Living "on one's own" is tough. I find it still easier than living with someone who only lived for himself.

Sherry and Sky have given you wonderful advice. Please listen to them and listen to your T. I know you're exhausted and discouraged, but you can stand on your own two feet. Please don't give up.

Hugs,

Jan

Thanks for all the support !!! I have not made any decisions yet. Yesterday was a very bad day for me. i can't remember half of the day, which is very scary. and makes me feel stupid. then I get very angry at myself. I hope some of this crap lets up soon so i can think again.

Sorry in advance. I don't know if this is readable.
I am very sad and hurt and crying. My husband called me last night and yelled at me for being stupid and crazy and abusive to him. I never beat him up! I never hurt him on purpose! He said he hates me. I am so sad and low feeling so much hatred for myself! I hurt myself tonight . And last night. and I don't care I can't feel it I can't feel anything i am numb see I am as crazy as he says!!! I hate myself.

No you aren't crazy. That isn't a legitimate term anyway and only "ignorant" ppl use it (and us here when we get really bizarre feeling!) I'm sorry you are in such a dither. Quit listening to your husband, is all I can say, when it comes to talk like this. It's abusive. hang in there please. (((hugs)))
