So my husband and I were married for almost 4 years and have recently decided to get a divorce. We have 2 little girls, one is 4 and the youngest just turned 2. My husband and I both want this divorce, but I still having a really hard time with it and he seems to be totally fine, which makes it that much harder on me! I do know that this is for the better, but its still alot to take in all at once. I have to find a job, daycares for the girls, put the house on the market, so much change is going on right now. I really would like to connect to other newly single moms out there. I have lots of married friends but they just sit around and talk about their husbands all the time, and it makes me feel like failure with my own marriage. I would love to talk with other single moms, so I can get through this hard time!!

What can I do next?

J.,
My sister and I are close, I lived with her when she went through a bad divorce and this is the second marriage for my husband, so I think I can understand you a little bit. I would encourage you to get counseling, it will help you deal with this change in your life. It will seem like a second adolescence to the both of you. And you will need to help your children get through this too. Of course a group of single friends will help a lot too. My grandma used to say: Even though it is hard now... this too shall pass.
And you will find another partner to share your life with. So, do not despair.

I am not currently single, but went through a divorce and have been remarried for 11 years. I am sorry that you have decided this is for the best, but sometimes it is and you have to stand up for you and your girls. I left my first husband when my son was 1 year old and I am glad I got out before he had been around his dad too long. This will be a very dramatic up and down roller coaster but know that there will be light at the end of tunnel. The best thing for you to do is pray to God to give you strength. He will never put anything on us that we can not handle. And remember, things will get better, and you will have a new leash on life. I moved from Texas to Arkansas, got a new job, new church, new friends and finally new husband. I thank God every day for the opportunity at this new life. Good Luck and may God bless you.

Hello J.,
Yes, you are going through a lot of change right now. Can you lean on your family? Are they there in town? I hope so, as that is what family is for: to lean on in times of trouble and to share with in times of happiness. You are going through a lot of change. My best advice would be to just take each day as it comes. Keep your girls FIRST in all things. That will keep YOU happy. Best of luck to you.
