I'm a cheater and I'm incompetent

[Collateral*Damage]

I'm getting a divorce and I have now told my family. My mother and my sister both asked me if I'm having an affair. I'm so angry at both of them! How can they think that I would do that to my husband? APPARENTLY, I WAS MISTAKEN IN THINKING THAT THEY KNOW ME AT ALL!

My mother also asked if my husband might try to have me declared incompetent so he can have custody of our daughter. I told her I'm not incompetent -- I'm just depressed. She didn't have anything to say to that. Not "of course you're not incompetent" or "I know you are just depressed". I am so furious with her!

All this reinforces for me once again that my family doesn't understand me and I should rarely, if ever, go to them for any kind of support. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I'm sorry to hear you are getting a divorce, even more sorry to hear that your family aren't supporting you like they should..

I hope things get easier for you soon, and i'm sure your daughter will give you unconditional support.. (is she in your avatar?)

sorry this isn't much use..
Best wishes.
Eclipse.

I'm sorry about your family being so unsupportive, it can be really hard when people you need disappoint you like that.

I hope you get through everything ok, and you know you can always find support here if you need it.

Take care of yourself

Since your family is so toxic, should you spend some time away from them?
