I was looking at apartments around my area so my daughter could still go to the same daycare and just on my income there would be no way I could afford it by myself.
He has three kids from his first marriage that he pays child support on so even if I would go after him for it I probably wouldn't be getting very much.
I feel like such a F***ing failure

Then declare bankruptcy and live off of your earnings. Again, if you want to you will. If not then you won’t.
I second this.Msprekteacher wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 8:25 pm Then declare bankruptcy and live off of your earnings. Again, if you want to you will. If not then you won’t.

First, I'm so sorry that you are going through this.
When you say that you live with family, is it your DH's family? Or is it your family? If it's your family that you're living with, have you considered asking your DH to leave?

I've just balled my eyes out because I feel like such a F***ing loser. I live with family, my husband gaslights me about my bipolar all of the time any time I get upset about something that he does. I'm stressed out with being the main breadwinner of the family. My marriage is in shambles and I'm only with him at this point so my daughter and I have a place to live and food. I cannot afford marriage counseling, nor can i afford to get a divorce. I' just sat and ugly cried to my mom and my two year old had to comfort me. I feel like the world's worst mom right now.

Yes. They want 800-900 a month.

It's my DH family. I live with my FIL. I have lived with my FIL during my entire marriage, relationship. I used to be able to afford to pay half of all the expenses, but with a surmountable amount of credit card debt, and personal loans in my name and his we can barely afford gas.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 8:36 pm First, I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

I'm supposed to be going to see my psychiatrist this week because I had to change medication but they want $125 each time I go and right now i cannot afford that. I'm sure if i explain my situation to my psychiatrist they will call it in for me until I can afford to go.

How did you deal? My husband leaves for five minutes she goes looking for him. What breaks my heart is ripping her away from him because I know how close they are.Dylexsmommy wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2019 8:23 pmLeave and move in with mom. Just do it.

I was in the same position 3 years ago.
I left, divorced, never looked back.
Best 3 years of my life since then.
