I'll tell you, I have never in my life felt worthless as a sahm until this divorce.
(( Sally )) I'm so sorry, please try not to feel that way, but yet I can relate, I too was a SAHM for 15 yrs when my ex left! Funny too, it was OUR choice I left my job when S was ready for school yet you would think i was some Peg Bundy loser when it came up in the D!
All is right, They have a formula that they follow and you not being in the work place for X amount of years benefits you, they then have other calculations as how hard it would be for you to work ( not sure of your childrens ages) your past education and work experience , your age ect.
I did ok not like you see in the movies where I can sit and drink champagne and eat bonbons all day in my silk jammies lol but it sure helps w/ the mort. payment.
Don't worry about it, and being a SAHM is nothing in the world to be ashamed of!
Be Happy for this Moment, This Moment is your Life
