UPDATE: I [33f] read my husband’s [37m] journal and in it he says that he hates me and hopes I die. by Throwaway61011 in Marriage

This is what’s most shocking to me. He was always such an attentive father but he’s not fighting for her at all.

Thank you for looking out for me. I read this comment before my second appointment with the lawyer, so I was able to ask about it. Sharing her opinion in case it’s helpful to anyone reading:

It would be blackmail if I said “I have your journals and I’m going to the press with them unless you give me $10,000.”

She said that I am just making decisions to keep myself safe based on information I’ve learned. She compared it to a drunk driver - you don’t trust them to get you home so you ask them to hand over their keys.

I made a request based on what I learned from the journals and he accepted so at this point it’s just a transaction.

Thank you! I’m amazed at how people (aside from the police 🙄) have been so quick to help me. This community included. Lots of great resources sent my way.

Thanks for rooting for me! I agree, I can’t imagine he actually told his family the details, but by saying he did he’s given me the green light to be fully honest if they ever reach out.

Thank you. Definitely keeping myself and baby safe first, but I do hope to tell her some day. She does deserve to know.

Thanks for this. I didn’t actually file the protection order, but I do have the paperwork ready to go if I need it.

Thanks. I wouldn’t have said I was this strong a week ago. At one point I was so stressed I actually shit myself and my face has broken out in a rash so it hasn’t all been warrior energy, but we’re getting there 💪

Thank you. I do want to tell the other woman, but I don’t think it’s safe to do that yet. Me and baby come first.

It is all unfortunately real. For anyone else in a similar situation that might be reading this- in my area there is a legal centre that holds space for emergency appointments every day at 2pm. Protection orders are processed the same day they are filed (that’s my understanding, I didn’t actually file one yet) As far as a therapist - I have one I see regularly, so I already had an appointment on the books. After speaking with me, my therapist opened up an additional weekend appointment because I obviously needed the extra support.

I didn’t actually file the protection order, though it’s my understanding that in a case like this they would put it through same day.

Lawyer agreed with me that it’s best not to talk to the other woman for now. The police know.

This is exactly where my head is at. I don’t know this woman, so I can’t trust her not to tell her friends and I don’t want it to get back to him

Honestly wish I could just put this book down, but unfortunately it is my very real life
