Getting divorce, need advice/support
I’m 34, getting divorced after a decade together. We have two kids (5 and 1). The last few years, I felt empty—slept on the couch for 5 years because my wife preferred sleeping with our youngest. I worked tirelessly to support us, but emotionally, I was broken. I asked for a divorce earlier this year, but she convinced me to stay. Two months later, she filed.
Now I’ve left our home, my kids, and I’m paying for everything—rent, bills, you name it. Financially, I’m stretched thin, but I have a solid job. Mentally? I’m a mess. Some days I’m numb, others I just want to cry. I know it’ll get better, but right now, it’s brutal.
The worst part? She’s making it impossible to see my kids until the judge rules. She’s blocked me, ignores calls, and barely responds to emails. I’m just trying to survive until then.
No legal advice needed (I’m in Europe), but any words of support or wisdom would mean a lot. Thanks, internet strangers.
