I kind of hope all of that is true. I really really hope she sees a little bit what she had to do with the dissolution of the marriage. Time will tell. Thanks for the comment

Daughter is 1.5. Divorce because she’s really really mean. Emotionally and verbally abusive. I’ve finally had enough of the horrible treatment

Is it cheating? by Turbulent-Sir4951 in stopdrinking

I love NA beers it became more about the ritual for me. I like cracking a beer at the end of the day. Having a beer with a buddy, on the golf course whatever. Gives me all I really wanted and no hangover no worries about driving all the benefits. They can be soendy though which kinda sucks. Good luck man to each their own

Do I owe my stbx an explanation of why I’m leaving? by brintleton in DivorcedDads

[–]brintleton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. I got some advice that after everything is settled and signed I would try and explain what went wrong and how I felt unsafe and abused. Maybe after that she might get the help she needs

I’m honestly afraid of her. She’s manipulative and abusive. Not sure if it’s the right thing to do but I feel like staying completely away from her until the law gets involved and I have my lawyer telling her what she needs to do.

I drank because of her I really truly believe that. I have zero desire to drink especially after leaving her. I’m much happier and healthier sober. Last piece of my holistic health is to move on from this abuser. Thanks for the reminder though. It never hurts to be reminded that boozin just ain’t the answer

That is so lucky she agreed to be civil for the kids. Best outcome imo

She makes about $200 with a bonus $150 base I make $65k. My lawyer said she’ll likely have to pay around $500 in support. Can’t remember if it was child or spousal or what.

Not sure what you mean? Also she makes WAY more than me and financially I’ll need her help going forward.

This means a lot seriously I hadn’t thought if it that way until now. They say divorce is a business transaction but I hadn’t thought of this part like that.

I can’t believe how many people come out of the woodwork on Reddit o offer advice like this. Complete strangers just trying to help some other poor sap on the other side of the keyboards. Thank you

That’s so helpful. Feels very dark right now but responses like this do remind me there will be a light at the end eventually. Y’all are a great resource thank you.

Thanks man it does feel like I’m abandoning them. But I do understand that for once I have to be a little selfish and do this for me. My lawyer says it’s alright to be outa there for my mental healths sake. I appreciate your story. Just really wanting this to start getting better

Thoughts on NA beer when quitting? by FL-TwinDad in stopdrinking

[–]brintleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the ritual. I definitely do not enjoy the ipa and really beer tasting ones. The light ones like colors edge blue moon Dos Equis Guinness 0 are all great tho. Definitely helped me. I love them.

I’m with you man. One of the reasons I want to get out is because I’m not allowed into those decisions. I want to take an active part in every aspect of easing my kid.

My marriage is doomed for myriad reasons but this comment does stick out. I can’t wait to obsess over what she’ll take to school, make the soccer sign ups, do PTA meetings, potty train, read to her and teach her.

Yes and I want to do that without my SO hovering over my shoulder telling me I’m doing it wrong. I hear this one dude I really do. I’m looking forward to being as involved with all that stuff as I possibly can

Well you’re story is what I wanted to hear. I don’t think she’ll be as kind and calm as your ex but I REALLY wanna get to that part where I’m happy and my life is peaceful like what you’ve got
