2.5 years post divorce and custody battles, while the ex hasn’t gotten any easier to deal with, things have settled into a new normal where life is much better (having a court order on the parenting times, and the engagement points between ex and me was an adjustment, but once made it is better for all)… Took about a year post divorce for things to settle down, mostly driven by an ex who wanted to test the boundaries of the agreement. For the last 1.5 years enjoying the first peace of mind in over a decade

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Ever since I've put my resignation a different kind of fear is there in my head.

But then I wasn't able to manage my sleep schedule, work and classes daily. At the end I was hospitalized because my body gave up.

Its better to take calculated risks than regret for your whole life.

Thoughts?

Stupid question but getting a divorce now and having a hard time figuring out what to do with sentimental things such as wedding pictures, travel pics, ornaments we bought together, etc. What did you do?

Divorce is amicable and based on growing apart rather than bc of cheating or fighting or anything else..

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?
