Julie. You did the right thing!! For yourself and more importantly for your kids!!!!
Why oh why would you feel bad about this? I ask that but I know I hesitate every time I have to ask H for money. I still dont want to upset him or get him mad. Wow hard pattern to break.
It is their responsibility to look after their children - they aren't doing it emotionally and if we didn't get legal support they wouldn't do it financially
