• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You've said what everyone else wants. What do you want? That's what you should be fighting for.

I don't want a divorce. He knows that. I'm trying to fight but its just so hard when only one person is fighting and the other one wants to give up. I really feel like giving up too. :(

First, you CANNOT doubt if you "care if you live or die." That's because you have a child who needs you, no matter what else happens.

Second, it sounds as though you don't exactly have "no one." Even if your parents live far away and don't want you to bring Peanut, you didn't say that they won't talk to you or give advice. Even the father-in-law sounds like he wants to be supportive of you, even though you doubt that. When people say to confide in other people, these seem like possibilities.

Hard as it is, don't give up yet.

This is a hard situation to be in. Has any sort of counselling worked? Don't treat your feelings like "second choice" which is what most women find their opinions to be in a marriage, they are what you want and are every bit as serious and true as what he wants.

I will tell her. But its like right now I don't care if I live or die. This is the worst. :cry:

Thank you for your prayers. :hug:

You're welcome. :)

You said you texted your pastor, but why don't you place a phone call to him today and ask for help. Is it possible for you and your husband to go to counseling together? If he isn't willing, go by yourself.
