Cyrena,

Thanks for your help. I'm just like Punkin though. I have very limited resources. I'm already working one full time job and a part time one and still not making ends meet.

I would love to go out but don't have the funds to do so or I would join something.

Anyway, thanks to all that responded to me. My biggest problem is that I know for a fact his family does not know what H is going through, they haven't contacted me or the kids through this whole thing. They are also pushing him to file for D and don't want us to reconcile.

I found out through a friend of mine that H is afraid if he tries to work our M out the family will disown him and that is his biggest fear. He is afraid to try to work on our M, because if it doesn't work out he won't have anyone (me and kids or his family). My H has always been like that, he doesn't want to be alone at all.

This is what I'm afraid of in the end of his MLC if he is a MLC'er. H has suffered from depression off and on for the past 13yrs. So that's why I was thrilled when I heard he went to the Dr. and they told him he needed antidepressants and he actually got them. Thinking it was a sign that he was finally seeing his issues. But then like his sister and mother told him, he doesn't need counseling like the Dr. told him he has his family and he told them that's what he told the Dr.

I thought the MLC'er doesn't like to be controlled, but he lets his sister and mother control him. Has anyone ever heard of a family being in the middle like this instead of an OW?
