Dont know where to start
|
I am in a precarious situation. We have been married over 30 years and the marriage has not been good for a long time. We have two kids.. a 25 year old in law school.. basically on his own... paying for school with his own loans and grants and a 16 year old hs sophmore daughter. Our financial situation is awful, we live barely from paycheck to paycheck.. and a few months ago, I broke my arm which is not healing well and had to give up some pt teaching positions because of my physical limitations.. thereby losing a large chunk of income. In addition, these limitations make me depend on him for some of my transportation... life between us is strained to say the least.
at one time i believed that it was in the family best interests for us to try to maintain the family life until my daughter went to college..we are still living in same residence, seperate rooms.. and to a degree seperate lives.. i am not so sure that is the best anymore for anyone.. there is so much tension between us...
BUT i do not think we can afford sep residences... i have thought about an official seperation while still living in same home.. or even divorce this way... something that will allow me to feel like i am free from the stress as well as the nastiness....if i were legally free.. i would not feel i have to take the behaviour i get on a daily basis..
any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
