Missy’s debtfree seperation! Hugs & support needed

Hi,

I’ve been on the boards a while, and always got to much love and support. Of which I am in dire need of it now. I am in the process of a very messy separation with OH. Who is unwilling to accept it. I am in the process of moving out of the marital home into a rented house with DD May(4)and DS Roo(6) And also in the process of racking up huge credit card bills to pay for every day life until the benefit system kicks in and my solicitor can get Ex OH to pay anything.

Emotionally I’m not in the best place, but need to stay sane for the littlies. Will be moving out in a week or so and need to get all of my debts and finances in check. Just wanted some friends a long the way to keep me in the right side of crazy.

Much love

Missy x

  • Hi, so sorry you're going through such a bad time.

    Just keep in mind, these feelings aren't forever and once you're settled things will seem much better.

    It's not going to be easy by any means, but on your bad days keep checking in and writing down what you're feeling-we are all here to help and support each other.

    Your head will be in a completely different head place this time next year. (I know that seems a heck of a long time away and may be far from helpful right now, but mean this isn't going to be a forever feeling, things will calm down eventually)

    Hugs to you. Stay strong x
  • I'm normally more of a lurker, but just wanted to pop in and wish you good luck hun x

  • Hi Missy,

    Sorry you're going through a tough situation. I'm a single mum and have been for 18 months now. I know it sounds a cliche but take one day at a time. Debtnomore is right that as time goes on, you will be in a different place and look back and realise how far you have come.

  • Hi Missy, thought of you and Roo when I saw the blood oranges in the supermarket a few weeks ago.

    Good luck with everything, sounds like its a getting over difficult ground as lightly as possible situation for a few months at least.

    Wow thank you all so much for your kind wishes. I know I!!!8217;ll be ok, just so stressful right now, and because it was my decision I feel like the wort most hated person in the world.
  • You must of have good reason to make your decision and as long as you feel you've made the right one, all will come good in the end.

    You can't stay together if you aren't happy-life is far too short to be somewhere you don't want to be forever.

    Many hugs to you
