Unexpected walk-away-husband

[jpLove]

Ss06, I agree...it's ridiculous. This entire thing is ridiculous. Our problems are nominal compared to many problems in marriages that stay together! He's gone off his rocker...and the guy he's living with left his wife & 3 kids in NY and moved back to OH bc he was depressed & it was their fault...about a year or so ago. I'm sure that the friend is having a lot of influence on what H is doing, because this is so far out of left field it's unbelievable. The only option I can see right now is getting a job, and I HATE IT. I've been a sahm for a very important reason since our daughter was born, we were both convicted in it...so much so that he wanted me to homeschool our kids! So now their dad left and all their security is out the window. They've both developed so many irrational fears it shocks me. She's afraid to go potty alone now & my son is suddenly terrified of bugs, for example...so what do I do? I "go away" for long periods every day right after their dad left completely, and shake up their world even more, and the thought of having to leave my newborn after 6 short weeks just tears my heart up. I didn't leave my first two babies for even an hour EVER until they were a year old! I never ever imagined I'd be where I am now. (By the way, none of this is a judgement on anyone else's parenting...just what has been right for my family.)
