i want a divorce

I'm done being married to someone who talks to me like crap, infront of my kids, and talks to my kids like crap. I'm sick of all the shit.
I'm done, what do i do. It costs money, yes? I'm beyond broke, in school, and cant't even work because I can't afford daycare.

As far as the actual divorce

As far as the actual divorce goes, you can try and go to a low-income legal clinic and file the divorce with a legal aid. As far as living, is there anywhere you could go in the meantime while you get on your feet?

I don't have anywhere to go

I don't have anywhere to go in the meantime, I will just wait it out here, unless it really becomes a safety issue. My mom is in the process of moving to VA, and I can't go back to my dads with the issues his wife has with me, Plus i can't fall behind/miss school, that and the kids are the drive that keeps me going, once i am a paramedic, things will hopefully be better financially. I have been looking on craigslist, I think i can only afford a 1br appt for now. The kids will have to get the bedroom, and my couch is a queen size sleeper pull out. That will be fine for now. I have been sleeping on the couch the last few nights already. I also don't have steady income right now, hopefully that will change in about 6 weeks, but right now I don't have any money coming in, except my child support. which is less than $100 a week. _____________________________________________________________________________ mama to Alexa 3/25/04 and Blake 9/18/07 "This land is yours and this land is mine What that means is nobody can own the rights "

it sounds like you are doing

it sounds like you are doing the right thing by saving $ and making a plan. get all your ducks in a row and leave when the time is right. maybe put an anonymous message on your local craisglist to try and connect with a single mama who may want to share an apartment with you.

Oh, I tried posting on

Oh, I tried posting on craigslist for a mama to share an apartment with, and mostly got replies from really creepy guys wanting me to live with them. So if you do this, BE CAREFUL. Do you get any financial aid for school? And are there any services you can apply for in your area? You might be able to find low-income housing, and get on welfare to help pay the rent for now. Have you been able to find low-cost daycare? And are there any services for childcare subsidies in your area? I know how hard it can be to leave, especially with out any money. Good luck mama. It sounds to me like you are doing the right thing

I'm sorry things are hard right now. I hope they get better. If you guys need anything, you have my number, right? Also, if you need a place to crash for a few days, we're not that far away and we could probably make it work bed-and-couch-wise.

I suggest contacting any

I suggest contacting any domestic violence support group in your area. Verbal abuse is real abuse and if he does turn physically violent it would be nice to have those contacts ahead of time. they also may be able to direct you to other free or cheap services to help you out. good luck.
