Hello, Friend,

How are YOU?

Have your circumstances changed any since your last post?

I am just reading your post today, but I wanted to share a few thoughts with you:

I know your pain.

I've been lost in the same fog of confusion as you.

I understand how your heart is bleeding while your brain is screaming.

I know that some of the posters just don't understand--as well meaning as they are.

I feel that you aren't in a place where you want/can hear what some members are saying--right or wrong.

I want you to know that "I get it".

I need you to know that I am here and I am listening.

AND

I'm on my knees for YOU. (I know that you will take care of your children and probably your husband). I am sending my prayers for YOU, dear friend. You, for now feel lost, right?

Hopefully, HE will guide you and heal your heart and calm your mind.

God Bless.

Valentina

I say you lost another good amount of weight, him.....I don't mean to be harsh but you've had to deal with weights, kids, husband, special needs . I have 2 sets of twins and sometimes I wish my husband would leave. But being in the group keeps me sane

Thank you everyone. We are still separated. It has come to light that he started seeing a "friend" of ours after he left (a week later btw ) and claims to be so in love with this chick. He's adamant on getting a divorce and everything. He's been mean and hateful and then nice again and mean again. He has put his hands on me, broken things, broken my mirror on my car and all kinds of things. This last Saturday things got real for him. He was arrested for an aggravated DUI. Guess who he called to bail him out. that's right me, I did it because that's just who I am. I thought it may have opened his eyes a little bit nope. He still insists he did nothing wrong in that situation. He had been staying the night with us since it happened but left again tonight to go back to his apartment. I don't know what to think about him anymore. All I know is he is certainly not the same man I married and has changed so much so fast.

Sorry no paragraphs I'm eating dinner lol

You needed to let him spend the night in jail on his ass. Not bail him out. If he touches you again, you need to take out a restraining order. You need to talk to a lawyer to find out your rights in a divorce. And you need to get him to give you the money you spent on bail. He'll get it back when he shows up to court. If he doesn't you're the one out the cash.

I'm sorry for your troubles, but you need to look out for yourself and your kids.

Sooo sorry that you are having to go through all of this turmoil.

I have not judgments, no idea what's right or wrong for you. Just keep your children close, tell them that you love them everyday--and this mess is NOT their fault. Children have a way of finding a way to blame themselves for anything that goes wrong within their family.

Guard your heart.

Think with your brain.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Please keep updating us on how you and your children are doing.

Thank you everyone for your input and letting me Vent.

I've contacted a lawyer and have to come up with the money to afford it. I've been a stay at home mom for 12+ years and don't have any income. I'm looking for a job now and he gives me money still. But it's going to cost like $5,000 all together. I have to pay $2,500 up front and can pay the rest out over time. I just don't have it. :/.

Oh pobrecita. I'm sorry you're going through this. You will get through it if you keep the faith and stay strong.

A good lawyer can help protect you and your children in many ways and will be worth the money upfront. Is there any chance a good friend or family member can help you out with the money?

I didn't read all the other comments, but it sounds like he could have depression. Yes, they're could be other reasons too, but some of the things you said made me think depression. Especially if he's recently been acting more withholding, withdrawn, anxious, stressed. Then running away. I'm wondering if he needs to be on an anti anxiety/anti depressant. Men's depression looks different than women's and often men aren't even aware.

Now I see that he was cheating on you. He obviously needs help. You should see a counselor. This is just too much stress. I'm so sorry, you must be heartbroken and angry.

My parents normally would help me but they just spent their savings on a travel trailer before any of this happened. We've bee brainstorming ideas but have nothing much so far.

I've told him he needs help. He has severe anger issues among other things. I honestly think he is bipolar. He just seemed to change over night. The man I married and have known for 15+ years would NEVER do these things to me. Ever. This "man" he has turned into isn't really a man. I don't know how to explain it. It is just such a dramatic change so quickly. I'm obviously still in shock and so hurt by it all. I have good days and bad days. Today was a bad day :-/

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
