Hi everyone,
just a quick introduction, my husband and I separated last year but have stayed living in the same home because of our two children. I had always hoped we would reconcile and try again for our family but my husband has had enough and told our children he is moving out and we won’t be a family anymore.
The children are absolutely broken, as am I. He moved out three days ago and we aren’t sleeping or eating well at all. My children cry for him all the time and bedtimes/through the nights are the hardest. My 10 year old understands better but my 4 year old is really not coping. He keeps asking daddy to come back home and asking when that will be.
Although we physically separated a year ago this has shaken me to the core and I just feel broken and unable to do anything. I don’t know where to start or what to do. The loneliness is also a killer. I relocated when we married and I have absolutely no friends around here, I am completely on my own.
I feel so guilty for crying in front of my children but I am struggling to keep it together. I am just petrified this is all causing them irreparable damage.
When does it get easier? 😔
