Re: FFFC
Hmm, you want juicy?
Me and my H are splitting up.
I was wondering how and when to share this info with the board. So....now is as good a time as any, right?
Horrible timing, obviously, since I am pregnant. But, we've had some ongoing issues, that I thought we would work through. This summer it became obvious that we will not be able to work through them. Throw in a couple other not-so-great things that happened this summer, and.....we're done. No, we are not going to counseling or anything like that. The not-so-great things that happened kind of solidified the fact that no counseling or anything like that is going to get things to where they need to be. So it's best that we just move on. It sucks for the kids, but it will be better in the end for everyone. We are getting along and working through everything just fine. No nastiness or fighting. He moved out of the house earlier this month, and I am going to end up keeping the house. (eek!!! owning a house on my own is sort of scary!) He is going to come stay at the house right after I have Carter, to help me out. Hmm I think that about covers everything.
However, I am not leaving the board. Y'all can't get rid of me that easily!!!

Wow Katie, that's a lot to go through. T&P that everything stays as smooth as you made it sound like it is going.
I'm sorry Katie! I'm glad you'll stick around too!

Wow, Katie. My heart just sank!
I'm so sorry.
I wish there was something more to say. I am glad that you guys are able to at least be civil and remain partners when it comes to parenting. It seems like you have a positive attitude about getting through this. Do you have a strong support system in place with your family?
I'm glad you're planning to stick around. It sounds kinda dumb, but let us know if there's anything we can do.

I'm secretly hoping you are kidding, because I totally didn't expect you to drop this kind of news on us. I am sorry to hear this, however, at least you two are working through things like adults, people change, sometimes we can't help that.

Man, I'm so sorry Katie.. I hate this for you but it sounds like you're in a good place now.
Like others said, I'm glad you are staying around though. You couldn't cheat us out of new baby pictures
Thank you for all the kind words ladies. In addition to all of you, I am very lucky to have very supportive family and friends. So far, this whole sitation has been a lot less painful and a lot less messy then it could have been. It is sad, for sure, and certainly not what either me or my H expected to happen - but it is what it is, and we are just trying to make the best of it.
Trickey, sorry for hijacking your thread!!!
And seriously, thanks for all the support, it means a lot.
Katie, it's not a big deal. I'm just happy that you were comfortable telling us and you don't have plans to leave. We like you, and we are here for you if you need us!
This exactly. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Hang in there and like Heather said, let us know if there is anything we can do!

((hugs)) Katie!
My mom and dad separated while my mom was pg with my younger sister. So my mom had a 2.5 year old and was pg. SHe moved back in with my grandparents. In the end things turned out fine. I had friends who's parents divorced when they were older and it was so much harder for them. I don't remember my parents ever living together so all I ever knew was living with my mom. And you are right, it will be better in the end for Jack and Carter to grow up in a positive environment!

The other ladies have already said it all Katie... I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this, especially while pregnant & chasing Jack around
So glad to hear that you're sticking around though- you'd be missed!!! Sending thoughts & prayers your way...
Ditto this. Definitely glad you're sticking around.
I agree with this. I never knew what it was like to live with my dad and people think I should be damaged but at the end of the day my husband is more damaged having seen his parents married for 20 some years hating each other. I never knew any different.
It will be so much better for the boys.
Thanks Ranger, and Trickey, for sharing. This is my line of thinking too. Carter will never live with both of us together, and Jack will not remember living with us both. To me, if we know this is over, it seems smarter to just move on and get the boys to their new "normal" as soon as possible. I figure it will be much, much easier for them to adjust now rather than later. The nice thing is that I will have primary custody of the boys (with Dad seeing them as often as he wants) and I am keeping the house, so they will have a "home base" so to speak - this will be their constant. Which I think is important. And nice for Jack, since he is already used to this being "his house" with "his room" and everything else.
And thank you to everyone else who left a comment - again, all the support means a lot
You girls really are the best!!
