00:00It's so hard. I just feel very robbed of the life that I was promised. Two days before I found out
00:06I was pregnant, he told me that he had been unhappy in our marriage for quite a long time.
00:11I was completely taken aback. We had also just walked through about a year and a half of
00:16infertility and I was recovering from an endometriosis surgery. Finding out that you're
00:21pregnant after dealing with infertility should be the most exciting time ever, but there was
00:26no way I could celebrate in that moment. And this divorce is about to take everything from her.
00:31We were just finishing up building our dream house on 20 acres of land. So I'm just thinking
00:36about all the Christmases and Thanksgivings and Fourth of Julys and all of the memories.
00:40But things only got worse after they move into their dream home together.
00:44I was super frustrated because the dream house is quite a bit away from my friends and family
00:50and my support. And so that was really difficult as I was navigating daily panic attacks and
00:56just freak out. And I was by myself because he was coming back to town every single day.
01:02And so I was all by myself there and didn't have the capability to go and just drive to
01:07a friend's house and cry on her couch. But she refused to give up on their marriage without a
01:11fight. People ask all the time, have y'all tried therapy? And of course, yes, we did some sessions
01:16together. We did sessions apart. Another thing that we did try is separation. He got his own apartment.
01:21I stayed in our home that we were currently in at the time. That was really hard because that was
01:26during my first trimester. But at that point, I was like, I will try absolutely anything. Like,
01:31if you need to move out to collect yourself and like get on the right track and hopefully you miss
01:36me, then go do it. Unfortunately, that did not change his mind.
01:40And after nine months of pouring her soul into saving her marriage, she finally snapped.
01:45As I am driving back to the house that we built together that I moved into this year,
01:50and I'm also having to say goodbye to this year. You walk in and it looks like this. We've got like
01:55a walkway up here. I loved this corner. I had it styled so cute with like my shelves, books. We've got a
02:01little cat door for our cat. The outside back porch was beautiful. I love this house and I'm so sad we
02:07had to leave. Divorce changes things. I'm still having really hard days and
02:12it's so hard. I just feel very robbed sometimes of the life that I was promised. This year has been a
02:22year of a lot of challenges and a lot of just acceptance. Now nine months into this process
02:28and him finally filing for divorce officially, getting a lawyer, starting the process of all
02:34of this, I have come to a place of acceptance. So I have moved out of the beautiful home. I have
02:40started to decorate this new little apartment and I have started envisioning my life with just me
02:46and my baby and co-parenting, which is not what I wanted for my life. This is my reality. I have
02:52accepted it and I believe that life will get sweeter on the other side. Now she's co-parenting with her
02:58ex-husband on a civil term.
