needing support

today i'm going through a so many different emotions and i'm not sure i'll get a reply now but tonight is my last night with my husband.  tomorrow he has to turn himself into authorities for committing a crime.  he was out on his own recognizance but was on probation and had rules to follow.  well...he choose not to follow them completely.  he has been smoking pot.  he has been doing this to "self-medicate" himself.  he is bi-polar and has been put on various medications that he has had allergic reactions to u name it.  then he's been having troubles sleeping and he's been going through different sleep meds to help that.  anyway...he hasn't been working a steady job so now that he has to surrender he's done nothing to set me and my daughter up.  on top of that i've had to spend money this week to fix my vehicle so nothing major goes wrong with it and he got his last unemployment check today...only for 1 wk instead of the usual 2.  tonight he says he needs to take out $120 for a money order to put into his commissary when he gets to prison.  i'm angry, sad, mad, frustrated, scared, alone.  i have a few friends that know about this but i can't fall on them completely.  that isn't fair to them.  but my closest friend of so many years i thought would be understanding and supportive...and i can't say she isnt' but...i owe her money and she wants to know when i'll get her paid. she knows that i'm going to be down to one income and he's done nothing to help us when this day came.  i haven't forgotten that i owe her money and my intentions r to pay her back but right now i'm worried about heat for the house, food for my daughter...i'm going to have my car repo'd and file backruptcy.  but back to my feelings tonight.  this is our last night together and i'm angry with him.  i'm mad that he didn't get jobs and put money away for us.  that he didn't do things around the house to help me with the cold weather or stuff that needs tended to.  he's asked me if i'll b there when he gets out.  right now i'm pissed that he asked that question.  how could he?  right now i want to ball him out instead of snuggle with him.  as u can see i could go on, and on.  i just need someone to talk to, listen, and give me advice.  i need to seek counseling.  i know that but unfortunately there is nothing free around here for that unless i have no income and i don't have the $70 to pay for a one time visit.  i need a friend...these next few days r going to be unbelieveable emotionally for me.

Giving and Receiving Support

Quote From: marsplasti

Wow;  I thought I had problems but when I read this I cry along with you.

Well; How long are you married and did you know all of t his before marriage and during mariage?

If  you did then you will have to take accountability for what happens. I am sorry but have to

deal with your emotions and all of the pain whether its in church or free counseling. They do

have support groups for this. You may want to check  into a 12-step program or coda. Codependent

anonymous because you might be an enabler. I say this because I am an enabler also only

I enabled an abusive man and let him get away with it.

You must have known this was coming and knew that a drug addict or bi-polar person wouldnt

help you financially or emotionally so now you have to worry about you and your daughter.

Can you stay with a family member or have one stay with you?

Why did you have to wait around for him to put money away for you. Why didnt you put money away for yourself knowing this was coming. I am not judging just trying to understand.

Are you going to wait for him or do you want a better life for you and your daughter for you know he

will do this again right? Get Help anyway you can. Church, CODA, Womens agencies, social services

whatever and fix YOU so that you dont keep repeating this pattern.

 

i didn't know that he was this way.  and i didn't know really what bi-polar was until he was diagnosed with it.  to answer some of ur questions i've been married for 6 yrs...he didn't use drugs up until 2 yrs ago...he did drink when we got together but i didn't find anything wrong with that until 3 yrs into the marriage when he couldn't stop.  he did though...and went about 2 years or more til he went through depression when his father died, was then diagnosed bi-polar.  then he started smoking weed.  no i honestly didn't know that a bi-polar person would do this.  this is all new to me.  i never knew anyone with the disease.  u've asked why didn't i put money away myself?  good question...one reason was because i was playing catch up and i did get a part time job to help myself out.  so in ways i thought that was helping myself.  but i guess as a husband/father...should HE have some responsibility?  he's the one that committed the crime...and i have to pay for something i had nothing to do with.  amy i going to b there when he gets out?  great question...i pray that this will make him a better person...but will i be there?  time will tell...i say that only because anything can happen from now until then.  and while he's got time to think...so do i.  plus i will be on my own growing independantly.  i have begun to go back to church...and i will take ur advice and look into some place to talk with some so that this doesn't happen again to me.  thank u...

trying to move on

my question is...how do u move on from a relationship that ended suddenly?  how do u become happy being single?  i was involved w/ a man that had alot of baggage from the beginning of the relationship.  he was so much what i've always wanted in a man.  he painted a picture for me that was a future w/ him.  and then...his baggage got the best of him and we ended our relationship.  he said that he wanted to still call and see me but...i haven't heard from him since my birthday...and when i sent him a text message to call me the next day he never did.  our relationship was only 2 months long but it became serious very quickly.  and i've come to the point that all he said about caring about me and all that it was a lie.  y would someone do that?  how can someone be so evil to toy w/ someone else like that?  now i've been dealing w/ sadness and anger.  and i'm tired of hurting.  i want to move on and stop the pain.  but i just can't seem to do that.  i'm not over him or what he did.  but i want to move on.  can someone tell me how to move on and be content w/ being alone and happy?
