| Divorce |
I need advice from my VN friends. I am planning on leaving my marriage of over 20 years. I have a son that is 16. Do I stay until he graduates from high school? I am so unhappy and can’t stand my living arrangement. My husband and I dont talk or even look at each other.

ReginaLove, that is SO great to hear! As for soy, it may help with menopause symptoms -- it it controversial. The best way to use soy is in the form of whole fermented soy foods (miso, tempeh, tamari and natto). Non-fermented soy foods such as soy mi
Agreed. I never thought I was vain until I had a mastectomy at age 39. I was devastated and told the doc I wanted to wake up with implants. Now at age 60, I am lopsided and wondering if I was just avoiding the inevitable. You get what you get and you
Sounds very interesting.Spike, you are awesome! Love your perspective, thanks for sharing.I will turn 53 in 6 weeks and still break out.
May I also assume that your skin is still quite oily and shows no or very few wrinkles? If so...
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!
1) Your skin doesn't look like beat-up luggage now, and probably never wi
You are the only one who has all the information needed to make the decision, but based only what you offered, I can think of no reason for you to stay another day. It can’t be healthy or positive in any way for a 16 year old to live in the situation you describe.
Obviously you have to get an attorney if you don’t already have one, make sure all your finances are in order, figure out who is moving and where, etc. Lots of things to figure out, but no adolescent is better off in a miserable angry two-parent home than with a single happy parent.
Just plan ahead, get everything you can set into place….consult with a lawyer…make sure you can financially do this, and that your son will be taken care of…..I left my ex when my 3 kids were in junior high and high school, and when they each turned 18 he emancipated them and never paid another dime….I ended up using my settlement to educate, house, feed etc….they are all doing well, I am broke….such is life, just make sure your ducks are in line before you leave…frankly, and I am speaking on a very personal level, if I had known how difficult financially it would be, I would have stayed in my miserable marriage and been able to make ends meet….
Divorce is a huge issue, and one that sometimes doesn’t come easy. Other times, get it done and over with.
Really think things out, have a plan, see a good lawyer, and make sure you are doing this for the right reasons…
I wish you well……
Don’t waste another day. Tell no one. Find a good attorney you trust, listen to everything she tells you. Make your plans & go. The longer you wait the harder it will be. I just got divorced after 27yrs. Wish I would of left LONG before I did. Your son will be fine, you will grow together, he will understand. Find your strength & do it. Your new life awaits.
