undignified Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Its been seven months since my husband and I separated. We were married for 20 years have four kids and had a house. He lied constantly switched jobs every three or four years, stole, got hooked on drugs and bad mouthed me behind my back. I was on the fence about what to do when we went to a counseling session and had him admit that for the 22 years that I have known him he thought he was better than me- that I was lucky to have him. Now...we have lost our house. He is living in his parents basement(with no motivation to move out) working a pretty crappy job and I have a great apartment and a good job. I will be filing for divorce but am taking my time. we are working on my time frame now. I am angry and will never ever trust him again. There is no future for us. I am angry with myself for not seeing what was in front of me. For letting the lies continue and for closing my eyes to the rest because we were fairly comfortable. I was lazy- plain and simple. My question is how do I balance out my desire to be self sufficient with my need to have child support. It is his responsibility to support them right? All four live with me 100% of the time. Am I using him by taking this money?
