Middle Age. Menopause and Divorce
All the above go hand in hand. Oldest daughter is over 18 and youngest will turn 18 soon. Just waiting and waiting for that to happen. Why am I waiting? Two years ago, I told my parents, one of the hardest things I have ever done was to break down and cry, admit that my marriage has failed. My older daughter also broke down crying in front of her grandparents and told them about the fights and what she has witnessed in her childhood. SO NOW THEY KNOW. My father was once a practicing lawyer he has this advice for me: put my kids' welfare over everything and grit my teeth until my youngest turns 18. I would never want to put my youngest in a situation where there is a custody battle. I want to be a good parent for my kids and finish raising them well despite my resentment that my soon to be ex has not done the same all throughout the marriage. He think financial support equals emotional labour. You know the story, I left my career for my baby. I had postnatal depression....
