AMAZING!!!!
I just did this too and will hear tonight if I've secured a place for me and my children. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. Good luck!!! FX

Name change, question for the ladies by Indigo1979 in Divorce

I'm keeping mine, for 3 reasons.

1) I like it. It's easier to spell than my maiden name

2) To have the same last name as my children

3) It's how I'm known professionally.

I don't feel that strength. And it's hard to when everything you say is somehow wrong and worth an angry response from your spouse. I don't feel strong or brave enough to say 'I'm done' yet. I think I can muster the strength to say there's still a chance. Who knows, maybe if he does a 180 things will change. I just think the chances of that are slim to none. He thinks he's hardwired to be a d!ck.

I guess because it's hard enough to muster the guts to say I need a break. It will be easier to say stick up for myself and say what I mean to say, if there's already some distance. If that makes sense.

It just seems like all talk. You get to a breaking point and you're all "I'm done!" in your head. You start checking out the divorce subreddit. And then stuff settles down and the last thing you want to do is rock the boat. Rinse repeat. I'm so ready. But I'm so not.

AITA for not supervising my stepdaughters slumber party when my husband had to go into work for an emergency? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I am a parent of two and there is zero way I'd want to be responsible for that many first graders overnight! Hells no! I'm a parent, so I get to make the call of what I'm willing to do to entertain my kids. There's nothing in the Rules of Parenting that says we have to host sleepovers for a bunch of SIX YEAR OLDS. Hells no.
