Divorce

I am getting a divorce - and it sucks. I mean it was necessary but that fact doesn't make it any easier. We have 1 son and, of course, the biggest concern is how a divorce would affect him. Which is worse, the constant fighting and unhappiness or a divorce? Ultimately, I decided the divorce would be better. So, after a discovery and an ensuing fight, my husband was told to get out of the house, and the divorce was filed 2 months later. I tried to be fair and considerate, but that was not necessarily reciprocated. It definitely got nasty, usually regarding money. Mt husband still has no understanding that he got out easy - he got to walk away with only what he wanted and no responsibility of what was left. I had our son, a house falling down around me, 3 dogs, and all the bills. Then my husband has the nerve to bitch about me needing money - he tells me I am taking everything. Oh, but he had enough to buy an XBox and God only knows what else. So there was a lot of anger. Is a lot of anger over that behavior. Things have gotten better and we are working on our friendship. Our son has adjusted well to where I relocated us, and has a lot of friends. I hope we continue to improve our situation and are good parents.
