Hi and eeek

Hi I am new to the forum and am 43. I have just left my husband to live on my own with my 14 yr old daughter. We are struggling to survive financially and are dogged by confusion over marital home etc. I have found the forum really helpful as I now dont feel so alone and battered by life. Thank you for being there!

Hi Jo JO

welcome
every one here is fantastic and happy to offer their help and opinions and I have learned so much - laughed out loud a lot (much to the surprise of my kids if they are watching TV at the time) and cried more than a few times over others stories.

This has been the greatest find for me since he left me. I used to think that people who came on these types of sites were a bit sad, I was so wrong.

There is no judgement and lots of support advice and lots and lots of knowledge

Just wanted to say hello - im 46 have a 9 year old daughter and husband walked out 5 months ago - currenty living in a limbo stlye life not knowing whats going on - but just trying to stick things out for sake of my daughter. Have no idea where we are going to end up or how long this will take to sort out. But by coming on here over the last 5 months has given me a place to ask questions and gain some knowledge from other peoples views and experiance - managed even this week to go to a lawyer - but felt i had a bit more knowledge behind me. Although lawyer has told me to sight tight for the time being and do nothing - which is easier said than done. Hope all goes well and things get better soon for us all. take care

Hallo and welcome!

Things will all sort themselves out eventually, its just horrid when you feel you are wading through sh*t - you just have to hope you are going towards the shallow end!!!

My husband has moved in with someone else and her kids after 31 years with me. He comes round to witter about how we can still be friends (he's turned into a cliche-speaking midlife crisis soap opera character).

I'm coping because I have fantastic friends, great workmates, an excellent counsellor, anti-depressants, a sense of humour and this site!

Hi Jo, welcome to Wikki, everyone here is so helpful & will support you through this. Keep in touch, it will all get better with a bit of time,
Cindy
