Any advice on how to survive a break up?
I have decided to leave my husband because things have been bad for a while and we both agree that it won’t work. We tried counseling. He has hidden too much from me and lied I can’t trust anymore. We have been married 6 years and we have a 5 yr old daughter together. She is sad but I think us being unhappy is worse for her. He is going to keep the house because he owned it before us getting married. He has a lot of money and we were used to a comfotable life. I work full time as well but make less. I’m not going to fight him over money I just want out. and be a good parent. any advice on how to be strong for myself and my daughter. I plan on seeing a counselor as well to work out my self esteem issues..I have due to this marriage. Any help/advice would be great. thanks
First I would like to say that it appears to me that you have made an effort in trying to make it work. That is a good thing. You are no quitter.
Look back to your days when you weren’t really dating, engaged or married. Think of some of the things you used to do, and get back to them. Now you have a child, and what a perfect time to get her involved in new things that you may not have been able to do because of your marriage. Renew old friendships, take some courses through college or training programs. Keep busy and don’t dwell on this unfortunate business. You did what you could, and you have nothing to feel bad about.
First of all seek money and support…its not for you its for your child! Second, get a lawyer.

Just remember you and your daughter come first. If you aren’t happy, your child knows and therefor it will end up making them unhappy. You are going about this the right way. Keep your head up!!

I would like to congratulate you for doing what only a great mom would do. Sounds as if you already have things under
control just work on your self esteem, make time for you
as a mom that is not easy.
Best wishes

Make sure he continues your health insurance so you can go to counseling and take your daughter with you. She also needs health insurance. Make sure as part of the divorce decree that you both get to keep your health insurance because you need it to help you and your daughter get past the mountain of emotional suffering he has caused you. When you feel you do not need the health insurance any longer you can ask the court to modify the decree. Of course, your daughter will still need her health insurance kept current by him as well as dental insurance.
Do not start seeing anyone else for a long time until you know you can handle it.
Oh, and trust only God.
