[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is tough. I need to at least separate from my DH. He looks so hard-working and thoughtful from the outside. Our life at home is a hidden hellscape and I don’t know if anyone can see it.

I work at my DD’s school and it is a large but tight-knit community. There are a few divorced parents at the school, but not many.

In her grade there are 40 kids, with:

-3 widowed moms (unusual, I know)
-zero separated or divorced parents

It is crazy to me that I would put her in the position of being the only kid in her situation in her grade, and as an employee at her school, I realize it would be hard for this to go unnoticed. I feel sick to my stomach having to walk into that community with scrutinizing eyes on me and my DD. My parents had a marriage that dissolved pretty obviously when I was in 5th grade and I’ll never forget the faux-solicitous comments from parents who I now realize were just digging for gossip.

I can’t switch jobs immediately because I’m under a contract and would not want DD to change schools.[/quote]

Wow. Kids do not care.[/quote]
