I'm on the other side of the coin....

I have severe depression and have been hospitalized for it in the past. I want to divorce my husband, but it's complicated. He doesn't want it, first off. We co-own a home with no mortgage, and I work part time. We do have a post-nuptial agreement, which gives me a little, but not enough to live on.My biggest concern is my ability to be able to work full time, and the loss of medical benefits, which are all under his name. My company does not provide coverage, and because of my medical history, I probably can't get independent coverage. BTW, the man is emotionally abusive, which is part of the depression issue. Am I stuck forever?

I am not an attorney but maybe you could make him keep you on his insurance as part of your divorce agreement. You will be just fine. Please get yourself in a support group and they will help you get through this. Who knows... maybe getting away from you will help cure your depression. You could have a new life after him. Your will regain your confidence by being independent. Keep me posted.

you are not stuck forever. there are many support groups out there and organizations that can and will help. first you should call an abuse help line to learn more about abuse and the various types. then you should talk the company you work for and see if you can go full time. are you in counseling? if not, seek some out. there are low cost counseling organizations that can help. can you ask family or friends to help you out temporarily? if you're serious about leaving, you have choices. sometimes our choices aren't wonderful, but they are there.
