Divorce during NS?

[jackson145]

OK, I know first hand how stressful a really bad home life is. What I don't know is how stressful NS is during the last semesters of RN program. I'm trying to decide if another year like this will be harder on me, or trying to handle divorce preceedings along with NS. I bet I'd enjoy the NS experience a lot more if I didn't dread going home every night!

By the grace of God, I am passing ALL my classes and with a B/B+ average.

All respect to God and all...But I somehow doubt he's involved with this hell

To the OP...sounds like your hubby is keeping you down in more ways than one. I'd normally suggest counseling in times such as this but he seems a little heavy on the manipulation and mental abuse.

Whatever you decide to do, let it come from your own heart and not from any words in this thread. What I hope you do take from this thread is that you have support and should stay strong.

Just by chance, I divorced the summer prior to starting NS. I had hoped to stay married through NS for financial security and general stability purposes, but the marriage crumbled sooner than I anticipated. Now, in retrospect, I am glad that I did not have to go through a divorce while in NS. It's hard enough getting through NS without also going through a divorce. Also, my ex husband was the kind of guy who voiced support for all I wanted to do with my life, but didn't back it up with actions. To me, there is a difference between telling me "I support you" and actually doing things to support me, like helping out with laundry and shopping and meals. You can tell me you support me until you're blue in the face, but if you don't lift a finger to take anything off my plate so I can focus on NS, then it's just a bunch of hot air.
