So, a lot of you have read the difficulties that my husband and I have been having. But, we talked today and its been decided that I will be moving to Newfoundland & Labrador in Canada. Go to school. Live on my own for a while. I'll be leaving my daughter behind for the first six months, then he will come and visit me, and drop her off.

Hey Samantha I have only come on board right at the end and only know that your hubby is really not treating you right! I think you have made the right decision. You need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again. You are still young enough to have the strength to do this. Good on you girl. I feel for you having to leave your daughter behind - isn't there somewhere that you could leave her closer to where you will be - your parents perhaps? I must say, I too am concerned that after 6 months things will have changed and you may find it difficult to get her back - and that would be tragic! I send you loads of strength and hugs - you sound as if you are going to need them. Hope you have friends and family to help you get through this. Please be sure to get this all legally drawn up before you leave your precious daughter behind - You don't want him to cite 'desertion' in divorce proceedings somewhere down the line! Take care and good luck Violetdreams

Hi, I have only viewed the last couple of discussions that you have started so i don't know the full story on things except that your husband has been treating you badly.Leaving that situation behind is a good idea but how can you deal with leaving your daughter behind for so long? I'm not judging you at all but as a mother myself,i couldn't live happily without my kids.I'd miss them so much and worry too much-i would go crazy! The whole arrangement sounds pretty simple but what happens if in the six months,he decides he doesnt want to let her go and doesnt drop her off??Please make sure that this arrangement is also a legally written one because six months can change many things. I wish you all the best.I have also had a partner that destroyed me and it took a long time to get back to normal and be able to trust again.
