11/15 Dr. Phil and Robin's First Wives Club, Part 2

Quote From: hilgon

I'm currently going through a divorce; I've been in the process for the past 6 mos.  My soon to be ex husband left when I was 8 wks pregnant with our second child.  Of course, he said it was bad timing but he just didn't feel happy in the relationship anymore.  It took me a couple of days to find out that there was somebody else and they've had a relationship going on for almost a year.  I saw these women on the show today and I saw a little of my self in each one of them.   

I do differ from them.  I don't blame myself at all for the failure of my marriage.  I filed for divorce 2 weeks after I found out about the other women.  I'm now 8 mos pregnant and I have no regrets about proceeding with the divorce.  Some say I'm angry, heck yea; I would have never gotten pregnant if I knew this was going on.  I don't expect an apology nor an explanation from him, there is nothing he could say that would make me any less angry.   

My family and friends say I'm doing very well considering all that's going on.  Of course, I have my moment when I feel the hurt, the pain, and anger for his deception, but I reassure my self with a positive outlook on life. 

I've always had a strong sense of who I am as a person and although it's been tough these past few months, I've got to constantly remind myself that I'm still me.  He didn't make me, I was already me before I meet him and I still me without him.  I've got a beautiful baby on the way to go along with my beautiful child I already have.  And alimony and child support isn't that bad.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel and if I could have patience with a toddler then I should have patience to make it though. 

You sound like a strong person in everything you have you said. I am not divorced nor going through any hardships with my marriage, but I do care and feel for anyone going through marriage hardships. You keep up your strength, and you will have a great life. Your kids need you and I know with your strength that your kids will see as they grow that you stood strong not only for them but for yourself too!
