Hi
I’m pretty new to this. I’m a single mum to a boy 3 months old. Me and my husband separated last may when I found he had been lying about contact with another female for the past 8 months and had cheated on me when I was 8 weeks pregnant. He’s with this girl now and she’s moving in.
I’m just wondering if gingerbread have people in person I can talk to about my rights financially and access to my baby by the dad.
We are going through a divorce and I’ve asked to involve a mediator for the finances.
We don’t seem to be able to talk sensibly, he gets defensive and I get emotional. He wants to sell the house we jointly own. He thinks I’m punishing him by wanting to be with my family in the north east. I haven’t ever stopped him seeing his son but he says it’s not practical for him to travel.
I’ve been diagnosed with depression and the gp has recommended I stay with family. I’m also having counselling. I really am trying. But I feel so guilty for even thinking that I want to move permanently.
He sees his son maybe a total of 8 hours a week at the house we own. I let him dictate when and he usually only wants to stay a couple of hours coz he feels awkward in the house. He’s asked tonight when our son can start going to his house…..i feel sick at the thought of my baby having family time without me. He’s only 3 months.
Sorry this ended up as a very long post!
