It's not going to be good since we still live together. But I am looking for an apartment. I think I might have found one.
New Years Eve we got into an arguement about all of the BS he has been putting me through and he picked up the dining room table and flipped it over. Well Teagan was on the floor and it just missed her. Thats what REALLY motivated me to go to file today. Divorce will be next but I dont have $1,200 for an attorney right now. Unfortunatly the firm I work for doesn't do marital stuff.
The only thing im worried about is that since he went back to work as a waiter even though he makes great money in tips his paycheck is squat. Its only about $60 a week. But im sure they will try to figure out what he REALLY makes and estimate how much he should pay for support from that. (I hope)
Oh what a mess this has all become.

kimberley replied: oh sweetie, i am sorry things have come to this for you. you are doing the right thing. to display that kind of rage in front of Teagan is unhealthy and dangerous and he really needs help. i am glad she was okay and pray for a better life for both of you. you deserve so much more.

MomToMany replied: I am so sorry. You're doing the right thing though. You don't want Teagan growing up around that. I hope you get all you deserve out of him. I know I get squat too, and I have 3 kids with him.
Good luck, and keep us updated!

A&A'smommy replied: I am SO glad you are getting out of that situation!!! He sounds like a horrible person and Teagan doesn't need that negative influence in her life and neither do you!!! (((((HUGS)))) I'm sorry you have to go through this!!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I am so sorry you have to deal with this, but you deffinalty have to get out that kinda of rage he is displaying is very scary and next time he might not miss. I hope you can move out soon, and I sure hopes its beofre the papers arrive.
elvisfan replied: I am sorry you are going thru this. I do think you are doing the right thing but I would try and get out of there BEFORE the papers arrive. I'd be worried he might do something again if you don't.
jjmea replied:
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through all of this.
I agree with elvisfan that you should try to find somewhere else to go when those papers arrive. Sounds like he has quite the temper and I have a feeling he isn't going to be very happy about the papers.
Stay safe. You are doing the best thing for you and Teagan, neither of you needs to be in that situation.
TANNER'S MOM replied: I am so sorry. I know that this is hard and it hurts so bad. If you need anything we will all be there for you. Good Luck!
mammag replied: All of the above and a very big
I'm sure that even though you know it's what you have to do, it's still hard to give up. My heart goes out to you.
mom21kid2dogs replied: So sorry for you and the mess. Is there someone in your firm you could talk to in confidence to get a recommendation of an attorney who might do payments. I know most won't advance the court costs by maybe for the legal fee portion? I agree getting out ASAP wouold be great! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
goodgollymissmolly replied: I'm sorry you are going through this. But based on your post I think you are making the right decision.
3xsthefun replied: I'm so sorry I think your doing the right think for your daughter and yourself!
Kila replied: I'm so sorry to hear that! You ARE doing the right thing, though. Please stay strong for Teagan. She needs you to do that.
