My husband has walked out

[A34]

Hi ,

my husband of ten years and 3 girls has walked out . Is consistently tells me I’m fat ugly and a shit mum !!!! He has ODD oppositional defiant disorder , ADHD and it’s always someone else’s fault ... I love him but I’m tired of the pain and hurt ... he has taken one of the girls away for the night and I’m sad and lost ... I need all my chickens I’m the one nest - so Ro speak ...

he is a great father but can be at times ( not all the time a terrible husband ...

not sure what to do from here I don’t want to give up on our family ... I do still love him - I must be very forgiving haha

evbeeyone says take one day at a time ... but how am I going to work full time ( he yelled at me for 1 year till I got a full time job and in his words gave up being a Mum ) now I do work full time and I’m not sure how I’m going to be a single Mum and work long hours ....

im very sad not even angry yet ... I feel like a failure to my girls and myself
