Divorce

Have been considering divorcing my husband for several years. We’ve always been up and down and in one better period of time I thought things were going really well and looking up and we decided to have a baby but since then he’s not been the dad or husband I thought he’d be. So if you’re divorced, how do you handle being away from your kid (s) for periods of time while the father has them? What is your custody situation like? Do you feel like it was the right choice and have you found someone better for you?

I am not divorced, but currently separated and it’s only been 3 months. He’s 6 hours away right now. But when we’re in town I drop the kids off and he’s spends all day with him. I honestly enjoy the quiet. We haven’t done sleep overs yet, we have a 1 yo who’s still breastfeed to sleep. I feel like if you’ve thought about it, and you truly aren’t happy… it’s the best thing for you. I wish my mom would have left my dad sooner, so I could have been raised by a happy woman. Rather than one who sucked it up for us.

This really depends on the state however since yall are married he is more likely to get 50/50 custody even if you don’t feel like it is right

I am in the same situation and Juanita’s comment hit home for me . I want to teach my daughter what healthy relationships look like . Unfortunately the man I moved countries for and married has not been what I thought it was ! No sense living in an unhappy loveless marriage : we only have one life to live . Good luck to you in whatever you choose to do. On the upside I have had shared custody with my older boys ; it’s hard at first but you will eventually love your time away! Make it about you cuz if you are not happy our babies can’t be ! 🥰
