I work full time and go to school full time plus take care of the heathens. It is one hot mess. My husband is a jerk and does not help financially or emotionally. It takes everything I am not to check into the nearest psych hospital....I know I can get through this and so can you. Keep you head up and know that it wont be this way forever. If you need to talk PM me and we can cry together......

When I was in nursing school I had 3 little children 2,3,5 and a very sick husband who was diagnosed with brain CA and had 2 craniotomies. The only thing that kept me going was the fact I knew he was going to die and I was going to have to support our kids. I had to get thru Nursing school to be able to do that. My school was incredibly supportive. I had missed 2 weeks of clinicals and thought for a while I was going to fail because of that but they let me make up the clinicals after graduation. I couldn't have done that with their help. I worked with a very supportive family and friends. mostly I just needed folks urging me on.

If I can do that so can you.

Yup, I'm with you. I have a 6 month old, a restraining order against my husband, and am getting divorced as we speak.

No family to help--it's just my baby girl and me. Shoot me a PM if you need a shoulder to cry on.

I would check and see if the base offers any programs that might be able to help. At the very least, there may be spouses' clubs that would give you the opportunity to make some new friends.

Where in Florida are you? I'm in Florida now, and am the mom of a Navy man. I'm part of a group of Navy Moms who are a great resource for where to go for help of various kinds connected with the service. It's a closed forum, but if you want to email me with specifics as to what would help you, I'll see if they have any info. Would like to help in any way I can and hope someone will do the same if my daughter-in-law would need it as she is thousands of miles from family also.

I am now divorced (jerk husband had an affair) and what has saved me is my career as a nurse. I, too, went to school with a then three year old and then had another baby (and breastfed) while I was working full time.

You can do it. Just look ahead at the light at the end of the tunnel. It will be there and you will come out on the other side.

As I said, my nursing career saved me both emotionally and more important, financially!
