Another lurker sending prayers and best wishes to you OP. (Not being from the US or Canada I couldn't offer any practical or legal advice...)

I'm never quick to encourage divorce, but on this occasion I'm certain you are making the right decision for you and your son - hang on to that thought if you start to waver. :hug:
 
Thinking of you again today...you have the support and prayers of many here and your parents who will take care of you and your baby. Hugs..
 

OP, I hope things are going good for you today. I know you are a ball of nerves right now, worried about the unknown. You have your parents and your Disfamily to lean on.

The most important thing I can tell you is you are doing the right thing. The most important man in your life is the little man you will see in a few short weeks. He is now number one, as you are very aware, and will make all the trouble you are going through totally worth it. We may not know how things will end up, but sometimes we are given a little present to let us know it's going to all be ok. Enjoy your little man and the new life you will have with him. :goodvibes

I feel the same way. I always hope people and work things out in a marriage, but in this case there is no question that this is the right decision.

You will feel so much better being at home with your parents. I hope you have a safe trip!
 
Ditto the phone suggestion. If he truely needs to reach you he can do so through your lawyer(s).

Good luck! Oh and on the flight, be sure to get up and walk around, drink water and avoid salt. I know drinking is though since it makes you want to pee every other minute but you need the fluids when traveling. If the seat belt sign is on and you can't get up, do what you can to move and stretch your legs, you do NOT want DVT.


As a maternity nurse, I just wanted to second this. Dehydration can bring on premature labor. And you want to walk around to lessen your chances of blood clots.


Good luck OP. Stay strong & focus on keeping yourself healthy for your sweet baby. Safe travels. :hug:
 
OP, just wanted to let you know your are in my thoughts and prayers...
Safe travels...and I hope you can check in when you are settled to let us know you and little one are safe... :hug:
 
I just wanted to let you guys know I got to Canada safely. The flight was uneventful and so far the baby seems to be doing fine. We have our Dr appointment tomorrow morning to double check on him (and on me, I guess.)

Leaving was the hardest and most horrible thing I've ever had to do. It's been a nightmare since I got back too. It's honestly too horrible to talk about right now, I'll update you guys on the details when I can. I feel like the worst person in the world. I miss my cats. I want to go to bed and wake up and have this all have been a bad dream. My dad made an appointment for me to see a counselor next week, which I guess might be helpful.

Anyway, enough of the dramatics. I'll update quickly tomorrow after the Dr appointment, but I might need some time to talk everything else.

I am soooo sorry you are going through this, you are one very brave woman! :grouphug:
 
It's so good that you got away safely, OP. :cheer2:

The past few weeks have had to be extremely stressful. Get lots of rest - as much as your body wants. Don't feel guilty about that! Once the baby comes, you won't be able to rest whenever you like.
 
I've been following your story for a while. Just wanted to say that you should be very proud of yourself for making such a hard (though right) decision. Not everybody would have that amount of courage. Now that your back at home, concentrate on you and your baby with the help of your parents.
 
I can't even imagine what you're going through, and it had to be the hardest thing in the world to leave your husband, but you'll come to find out it was the right choice for you and your baby. I almost feel sorry for him (I know that sounds bad) because he has no clue at all what he has done, and one day he'll realize just how awful he behaved and you will be well on your way to a happy life with all this behind you. :grouphug:

So glad to hear it!

I know it seems like the worst thing, but you have to believe that you are doing the BEST thing for YOU and YOUR CHILD. You were forced into a position of having to make a very hard choice for the 2 of you. You did not start this, instigate it or DESERVE it. The only thing you have to do now is take care of yourself and your baby. It won't happen overnight, but oneday you will realize that you are stronger than you ever gave yourself credit for, stonger than you ever thought you would need to be, and that my dear, is YOUR victory, and no one else's... You will be HAPPY one day. I promise, you just have to let yourself be.

We are all routing for you!!! A bunch of strangers... doesn't that just prove that there is still good in the world? pixiedust:

I'm so glad you made it there safely. I know that you're probably an emotional wreck right now, but in time, you will look back on this and know that you did the right thing. Rely on your family and please keep your appointment with the counseler as I think it will help you deal with everything you've been going through for the past few weeks.

Prayers to you and your baby!
 
You've been so strong! Hopefully now you can relax a little. I am so glad you are safe.
 
Glad you made it safely home. I think it is wonderful that you are seeing a counsellor..

Try not to think about the future right now. Just take it one day at a time.

TC :cool1:
