When divorced I had a female attorney, who knowing I was easily intimidated took advantage of me every which way she knew. I have to file a motion on a judgement in the divorce papers and I don't have the courage, nor do I trust attorneys. I've been on post tramatic stress meds since the divorce. I've been looking for a support group but cannot find any where I live. Hudson Co., NJ

there are many attorneys that know this such behavior happens to guys .. all the time more than is known.. look on the internet in your area and also there are many divorces support groups online check them out..God .. I feel for you .I stayed in a marriage for 23 years with so many emotional scars from it that I still have nightmares about it and have been married again for many years to a wonderful woman..but looking back wish I had stuck it to her..She walked away with everything and even tried to turn my children against me..but walking away from her and giving her everything was worth it.. but i stayed with her until my children were grown but hind site is always better.. Just keep looking and you will find the right attorney and the right support group

I wanted to comment because your situation made me feel so sad .I live in Calif so I do not know where you can turn . Have you tryed to go on line and just type in support group? I am sure it will lead you to something. Be careful with those meds, they mess with your brain chemistry. Try to ween off of them, take short walks, do some stretching, and eat well. Talk to friends, find that support group and start your healing. There is no magic pill. Living well is always best. If you need to talk you can e-mail me. I was married 24yrs, divorced for 4. Emotional abuse is hard to shake, but you will do it, keep the faith and know people are out there to help you. Take Care. P.S. Get really mad and go file that motion, you deserve some justice, you have to get tough and stand up for your self, cause no one else will.

You should have been the one to divorce the abusive husband but seeing you didn`t then I can see your problem. All lawyers are not the same just because you choose a bad one. If you are on meds for stress then ask your doctor for a good support group or therapist in your area or go on the internet and find one,there are good support groups there. Also talk to a priest. Hang in there. GOOD LUCK

I'm 27 and no employment interests me at all. No hobbies interest me. Dating and marriage isn't very appealing to me. Good movies and TV shows serve as distractions but don't really make me feel positive. They just make me content. I don't feel like I have a direction or ambition and I don't feel the need to make substantial amounts of money, even though I could if I wanted. I don't think I'll ever find any kind of larger than life happiness, and I definitely don't think I'll ever find a purpose in life (other than purposes I actually create for myself). There is no supernatural purpose to life that humans know about, unless you are religious. Your purpose in life has to be created by you, if you want one. You don't have to have a purpose. I don't. I have 3 friends and don't even want more. 3 might be too many. Do you even want more friends? Is it weird to feel the way you feel? Maybe, but you're not alone.

Ask others about respectable attorneys and ask for their references. Then fire the one you have now and tell everyone you know about her, including the bar association.
