I so agree with the two previous posts encouraging you to expand your circle of friends and support. We become far too vulnerable when we put all of our eggs in one person's basket -especially when that one person accidently or intentionally drops that basket! It also becomes an overwhelming responsibility to that person, at times perhaps even a burden, when they feel like the sole provider required to meet all of your needs.
Please explore your options - your local park & recreation district, church, play groups with your child, you said you were in the army - could you reconnect in that way?
As you start to gain confidence in your own ability to take good care of yourself, you will begin to radiate your new inner strength. People will notice and so will your husband. Positive energy is contagious.
Remember that you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. The fact that you are hopeful is a key ingredient in making any marriage work. Your goal is to keep your marriage together. Ask yourself this question: "Is what I'm going to say or do, going to bring me closer or further away from that goal?" This is a helpful barometer when you're debating with yourself about "What not to say."
Thanks for reaching out and connecting with us! We care about you and we're here for you!
