I agree with everyone's recommendation to go to your doctor and get ADs. I am someone who prefers not to use medication, and I look for more holistic ways to treat things whenever possible. However, ADs put a floor under your feet and allow YOU to be in charge or your emotions. You don't have to be on them forever; they are temporary while you're going through tough situations AND doing the work on yourself that's necessary in the meantime.

I also encourage you NOT to roll over and give your H everything he wants. Consult a lawyer, and let him/her do the heavy lifting. You may feel like you just want it to be over and to run away from it all, but in the end, rolling over will leave you feeling disempowered and taken advantage of...again.

You suffered a lot of emotional abuse at this man's hands, and he's STILL playing you. He thinks he's going to manipulate you into him getting everything he wants...no consequences. I'm not telling you to be greedy, but I am telling you to get your fair share of the assets from the M, what you're legally entitled to.

If you stand up for yourself, in the end you will feel more empowered. From where I sit, the thing you need most is to reclaim your power from your H. You're giving it away when it's really all yours.

Hang in there, and make an appointment for your doc!
