I am a previous resident of CT...my husband and I had started divorce proceedings there in 2004 but my husband wanted a reconciliation so we tried counseling and I (against my better judgement) agreed to move to IL Sept 2005 (where he had been living due to job relocation) to see if things could work out. Now here I am here all alone with my 2 1/2 year old wanting a divorce and wanting to go back to CT, I don't know where to begin--I was not working for almost a year and just recently got a part time job to try to save up some money, my husband is the bread-winner. I don't know what to do, I know that once I start proceedings he will throw me out (the place is in his name)I don't even know where I should file for divorce. I have no one here for support and have not told any family or friends back home of my situation--I don't want to rely on anyone for financial help. Where do I begin?
You need your family now....you said you plan on moving back...family and friends need to help in this process.... you have a 2 1/2 yr.old...you have to think of what is best for your child....go back to counselor and find out how to get the help you need..I know they have resources and if they don't they can recommend somewhere that does....if you husband throws you out you can go to a womans shelter look on line for the shelter near you and call them for help in your present situation..Sounds like he is controling...mine was too
unfortunately they are right....although we want to do things by ourselves sometimes, there are times when we really need help from outside sourses, and you are in that kind of situation...and your family will not think any less of you if you do get in touch with them and let them know of the situation....trust me, they would rather know, than wonder if you are doing ok or not.... I had to learn the hard way myself Pride can be a big barrier from family, but they will always love you no matter what....
