How old are your kids?
dannyzmom said:My biggest piece of advice though - if there is any thread of hope, do everything you can to salvage your marriage - I am a child of divorce and not a divorced mother...it breaks my heart what my kids have to go through.
janetupnorth said:Carolyn - glad you gave that advice...I'm not a single mom, never been in your shoes, never hope to be...
I actually had a pretty corny line at work this week, but I was being truthful about it..
I said, "People always think the grass is greener on the other side, when it is actually easier to care for and fertilize what is in their own front lawn..."
It got a chuckle...like "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" on SNL, but I was kind of serious. We always think we have it bad and things are brighter elsewhere and if we took the time to care for what was in front of us, it'd actually be better...
Now that I got off-topic, sorry...we don't know your situation or what you're going through, but wish the best for you...
dannyzmom said:You're right...so right.
My ex and I threw in the towel without working on things. We had a lot of issues and were both stubborn and immature. But being a bit older and a lot wiser now, we both agree - we could have worked on things and made things work out. But...alas, we chose not to and both went down separate paths. I have been blessed with a wonderful new husband - but guess what? WE have issues, too!! I mean, gosh - who doesn't?!?! But using the lessons I learned...I hope to make this marriage work. My ex is getting married on Sunday and we've been talking a lot lately about how NOT to screw up our 2nd marriages...it's just a shame for our kids that we didn't talk way back when about how not to screw up our own marriage.http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/mad0228.gif
So...all that said, Brooke, if there is a shred of hope...put your all into making it work. And if there is not...then walk away with your head held high and do the best you can for your kids...and we're all here for you either way. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/love0059.gif

I'm hoping a separation will open his eyes, to how serious I am about things needing to change.
Paige Dixon said:My children miss their dad (no visitation or child support) but it's so nice to now live in a safe home, even if it is chaotic! I can tell the children feel so much more at ease and we're all happier. In some situations, the children are better off in a divorced family.
ChefBeckyD said:Anytime it is a matter of safety - I agree that it is better to part ways!
bbauman07 said:No I'm not trying to "pick u up" LOL. I am wondering if there are any single moms out there, who juggle your kids and are still successful in the business?
Any advice you have would be grateful, since it looks like I'm will be separating, possibly getting a divorce.
Paige Dixon said:Oh, man! My children would ask me if Dad was going to kill me. I can't imagine what they were thinking life would be like after he killed me. Thank God he is far, far away! I would gladly sacrifice every penny of child support if he would stay away!
