~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~It wasn't until someone else said it, but I realized yesterday that I am every bit as much a single mom now as I was before I married husband. There is no need to fear being alone - I am already alone.

Well there ya go. Cheers!!
The inherency of your revelation is stunning.
Hopefully one of days you will be able to afford to move on and find some awesome love.
This is a revelation I had as well while married to my exH. After that, the steps I needed to take fell into place more quickly.
Like Vixen, years ago when I realized that fact, moving on fell into place. I divorced not long after.
It sounds as if things will be taking a shift. If you need to talk, you know where to find me.
I'm really sorry. I don't know anything else to say and anything cute or glib seems wrong somehow.
Oh honey.
I understand and I relate.
I was a single mom for 12 years before I got married and had a baby the "traditional" way. I swear there has been nothing more frustrating in my life than believing I was a parent with a partner, when in reality I was simply juggling more kids, more of a household and more responsibility than I ever had in my lifetime.
I know you are going through some trying times right now, especially as a mom. From what I understand, it's supposed to get easier. I'm waiting to exhale...Keep breathing, Mama.
That said, please realize that he has less power over you. Once you recognize the fear, you overcome the fear, simply because you see the fear for what it really is...Baseless, empty and insubstantial.
Been there, done that.
But, I think that statement is a very cathartic step.
I always called myself a "single married mother" the last few years of my last marriage. Not fun at all.
