I just had a baby with my husband, we're going through a divorce. It was my decision and the hardest one I've ever had to make. We've fought for 5 years and even though we have been to counseling, it never got better. Plus, he's very ill tempered so it ended up bringing out the worst of me. There's so much more to the story, but I needed to leave. I don't want my daughter to go through that - and yes, people...I will be giving him as much visitation as he want (which right now, isn't much - he has two other children who live with him) So people, don't think I'm going to keep her from him - I need him to be in her life because I know she needs him.
But, really....I'm just sad. Can someone give me a virtual hug please??

Of course you are going to experience some sadness, divorce is never fun and even though it was your choice to divorce does not mean you are not feeling sadness at lost of broken dreams and broken promises. This is natural. From how your marriage sounded like, I feel you have made the right choice. You should be admired for that, it is not ever easy to do what we know is right. God bless you on your journey to heal and move on to a much more better life! Here is a big HUG for you!!

You sound like a wonderful mother, making the decision that is best for your daughter even though it is very difficult for you. Children should not have to witness their parents fighting all the time, it makes them grow up insecure. You can now raise a happy, healthy, wonderful daughter, and hopefully you and her father can work as a successful team. Good luck to you! *Hugs*

I just gave you a hugh hug and am sending positive vibes your way so you should be feeling some good air around you. just because your making the right decision does not mean it feels good and you are protecting not only you but sheltering your daughter from being in an unhealthy environment, so kudos for you and you will find love again and be happy...I promise.

I'm really sorry that you're going through this mess. I know how you feel, been there done that, and it's a horrible feeling. But, in time it will get better for you. You did what you had to do for good reasons. You can't raise your baby in that kind of a atmosphere. I know his other kids are going to have to deal with this too, but, unfortunately you can't take them too. Just stay strong for yourself and baby. And here's your HUG!

HUG. I bet your hormones are a mess too. Must be really hard. Keep your head up and know that leaving will be something you look back on and say 'boy I am glad I got out of that when I did'. I am proud of you girl - it is hard to leave. Best of luck.

If you really feel that you did the right thing, then things will get better with time. So be strong for yourself and your daughter.
Hugs and best wishes.

Honey, remember, it's better for kids to be part of two happy homes than one unhappy one. It's good that you are taking the high road here and not keeping your daughter from her father.
Some people get along better as co-parents than they ever did as couples. From the little bit I read about your situation, you did the right thing.
God bless you and your kids, and I hope everything works out for you.
