[quote=Anonymous]I was a SAHM married to an abusive husband.

I left, and took my two young children with me.  Yeah, I scrimp and save and can't buy stuff a lot of the time, but you know what...I'm happier than I've been in 12 years.

I get spouse support and child support. It barely covers stuff and I've had to go back to work and put my kids in daycare.  I had to find some place reasonable with rent.

Will I be in this position forever? No.  It's temporary...and I'd do it over and over and over.

Take little steps to make yourself happy.  Go get a manicure. Go to Panera's and have some alone time.  Join MEETUP and find other parents with SN children just like yours.  Find other groups of people that are supportive.  There are 6 billion people in the world...your 'friends' at work are not really your friends. Find someone you can co-miserate with or is in a similar situation might be more empathetic than those not in the situation.

I have a group of moms that I met when my oldest was a baby. I would say that we are 'friends', but I wouldn't count on any of them to be a comfort/shoulder in my situation. In fact, most were shocked when I told them I was divorcing my abusive husband.

Hang in there.  Find an outlet.  Find a therapist.  Find new friends.

You can do it.[/quote]
