Divorce

Angela • Baby #2 coming in September 2021

As I sit here rocking my almost 7 month daughter to sleep, I hold her a little tighter. I’m so lucky to be her mom. I am so unworthy to be a mom to someone so amazing. As I stare at her beautiful face, I can’t help but think I’m hurting her in some way. Her father and I have been married two years. It’s had it’s ups and downs, but ultimately, he’s chosen his job and selfishness over us. He’s working 60 hour weeks and refusing to help out at home, even though I work full time as well. He won’t spend more than 5 minutes with our daughter and won’t even hold her while I shower. He won’t feed her, put her to sleep, get up with her, take trash out, laundry, play with her - literally anything. He says I don’t respect him for asking him to help out and that I’m a horrible mother for not doing everything on my own. I’ve tried every single thing I can think of to save our marriage. He’s decided he doesn’t want the marriage counseling I’ve offered to go to, so we will be divorcing. I live 4 hours away from any family but I make too much money at my job to leave. I’m terrified of being alone as a single parent. Pray for me guys.
