hey g,
ugh. i did read somewhere that women (single mums) usually get poorer after divorce and their husbands get richer..like 27% richer, or something like that. don't quote me on the figures. but yeah, it's really unfair.
your buttons really must have really been pushed if you sent him an upset email... there haven't been many of those from you, have there? sometimes it seems pointless to come across all 'stoic' and strong, like your coping and all, and the reality is looking after a baby is just darn exhausting a lot of the time! I am soooo impressed that you live on your own and have gone back to work! I mean, I live with my parents and have round the clock help (if I need it) and don't go to work...and I am really afraid of the strain when I do get my own place and am 100% responsible for everything. Anyway, I really get what you mean about the extra strain of being a working single mum. I am extremely angry at the selfishness of these WAHs when there are children involved..especially newborns who require so much round the clock attention.
Have you thought of asking WH to do more in terms of looking after bub. Like asking him to do his 50% worth? Or do you not want that?
