I was wanting to know if anyone here has gone through a divorce while their children where still young. I've gotten to the point where I can't take my husbands constant put downs and the way he treats me. I haven't started the process yet but I am thinking about it.

I haven't but boy have we gotten close. Your baby is brand new, right? I can tell you that having a baby with SB is one of the most stressful and trying times on a marriage. Someone once told us that it will either break a weak marriage quickly or build a stronger one over time. I always kept that advice in the back of my head because is so hard sometimes. The stress, guilt and fear can be overwhelming. Try to take a break from one another. Maybe spend a weekend apart or a weekend just the two of you without the kids. I think one of the things that really put my marriage back together a few years after Carter was born was a cruise to Mexico that we took without the kids. Two days into the cruise we were quaranteened with the Norwalk virus. We were locked up in a 200 sq ft cabin together for 5 days. Best vacation I ever had because we HAD to TALK to teach other. I know how stressed you must be right now and I am sending good thoughts your way :)

my parents split up when i was 8 months old. Truth be told they were on their way out before i got here. They didn't get a divorce sooner because when i was born mom was so busy trying to get through that she forgot she wanted a divorce.

Zoe will be 7 months old tomorrow. But I've wanted out since before i got pregnant with her. I have only stayed with him cause I'm affraid that I can't support the two girls on my own. And we do get time away from each other. My husband left two months ago to get his CDL to drive truck and he just came home for a week for christmas and on new years eve wrecked my only car and then on the 1st left to go back on the road and left me to figure out what to do.
I am sorry. It is so hard to have your marriage fall apart while dealing with a new baby. (hugs)

aaaaah......im so sorry that you guys are having a tough time. i wish i knew what to say but i really don't just that i am praying for the best for you and your family =) Maybe a serious heart to heart talk??? Put everything out on the table?????? hmmmmm
The wife and I can really get into it at times,not so much so now that the kids are older but it still happens.When it gets real thick and the steam is about to come out of my ears I go out for a long walk,gives us both time to cool off a bit.
