Title: Husband moved out last night
Post by: In the lighthouse on April 30, 2020, 08:49:33 AM
My husband moved out last night to stay with a friend. I'm feeling very mixed right now - the grief is incredible but with that is relief and hope because anything could happen now.
I'm very anxious - I struggled to get sleep last night and ended up awake feeling very ill with stress symptoms too for some of the night.
I've been a solo mum before so I'm trying to remind myself I know I can do this although  it feels more threatening in someways right now - with Covid social distancing and for other reasons.

That's a lot to deal with Lighthouse, especially in the midst of this pandemic. Will your husband be involved in care of your child/ren?

I get that mixed bag of emotions - relief and grief - please be compassionate with yourself, rest more if you need to, take self-care breaks, and talk to others/post here.   :grouphug:

That is a heavy load. Your mixed feelings make sense.

Thank you all for your replies here. I'd forgotten I'd posted this and my husband returned a few days later after this post.  He has left again since and is now back at his friends house. I need to find the strength to persevere this time and to believe I can do this on my own. My youngest daughter asked if Dad could move out this time and I think that changes things a lot.
