My Husband Yelled About Our Divorce In Front of The Kids

How to traumatize your children forever.

I don’t want to say “I hate my life” because, in the grand scheme, my life is pretty cushy. I have a full-time job currently allowing me to work from home. While my kids are high-needs, they’re a piece of cake compared to other kids with their conditions (Autism and ADHD). I’m not homeless and I can afford food on the table. I have a solid group of friends.

I live with my Soon To Be Ex-Husband and for the most part, things are about as okay as you can expect. I’m a part of various divorce support groups and some of those stories make me grateful for my situation.

Except on days like today.

Today, I hate my life.

I still live with Joseph. I can’t move out until I can buy a place. I can’t buy a place until I get my payout. I can’t get my payout until Joseph refinances the loan under his name. He can’t refinance until the Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) is signed. We can’t sign the MSA until the mediator lawyer creates the final draft. She can’t create the final draft until we have our MSA review.

Our review is next week.

Nothing can happen in my life until next week.

Living with a Soon To Be Ex during a social distancing pandemic is about as fun as ripping your teeth out with rusty pliers..

This afternoon, despite school being over, I looked at my son’s assignment. He wrote stupid goofy comments all over it and pasted dumb farm animal pictures. I told him to redo it because this is also for the teacher’s memories and poor homegirl had to virtually homeschool little assholes who couldn’t keep their pieholes closed on Zoom sessions. (I didn’t explain the importance of the assignment in that way.)

My son redid it, I looked it up online, and it was still absurd. For example, in spots where he was asked “what did he like best about Math class,” he wrote “lerning”…yes, purposely misspelling “learning”. I told him nicely to redo it with his best effort.
