I did it and you can too
Quote From: nina2980In the second segment of the show today, a young woman had been taking care of a grown man for the last nine years. I can sympathize with her and hope that she will just do what she knows she needs to do. For the last three years, I have been taking care of my husband and three children all on my own. I have a full time job and am taking online courses so that I may get into a better career for myself and kids. He, for the most part, has been sitting around or hanging out with friends. When he does get a job, he spends the money on things he needs and his bills, while our living expenses get backed up. In three years he has never payed a bill, never payed the rent and taken over two thousand dollars of my money for his "business" transactions. I have now become angry when I used to be bubbly. I am divorcing him only because something in my head is telling me to run. So I can definitely feel for the woman on the show today. I am now entering the world with no support, no friends, no self esteem and three children, soon to be four, watching every move I make and every emotion I have. I believe it can be done, but Dr. Phil was right, she will need LOTS of help and counceling during this time to help her get through this. I wish her all the luck! Her husband is not a real man! I finally left and am so unbelievably happy even though it's only been about two months on our own. My son and I have are doing great and I have sought out therapy and am working daily to make sure I keep focused on who and what are really important to us.
