I am meeting with a lawyer today to start the process of divorcing my husband. He is an addict, in rehab. We have 2 children. I am so nervous. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything I should be prepared for? I’m horrified but not as horrified of having to stuck with him forever.
I need a support group outside of my family and friends. Anyone else dealt with this? |

HI Nomoredone. Welcome to Psych Central. I am sorry you are having challenges in your relationship that are making you nervous.
There are many articles here on different divorce issues. You can also put terms you are looking for in search box. Divorce | Psych Central Coping with Divorce: In the Beginning Life 2.0: Coping with Divorce Hope you get the support you are looking for. Setting boundaries can be very important. Changing the locks on the door is also an important issue to maintain boundaries. If there is a chance of violence, get a restraining order and create a safety plan that will help you stay safe in your particular environment. Another option is relocation but this can be disruptive. These are good issues to talk to a therapist about and or your lawyer. @CANDC __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

Welcome to Psych Central, Nomoredone.
 I see my friend CANDC has already provided you with links to a couple of articles.

I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I've never been in a situation like that, but I think that making a list of all your questions before the meeting would help. It can be easy to forget to ask things when you are in the moment. And, then, take notes of the answers you receive. Good luck!
