May I ask why you want to be separated? Do you have any children?

IMHO, Separation and divorce should be a last resort in a marriage. To go down that road, you would need some of financial independence and that obviously requires being employed.

Why do you want to separate? What are the issues?

How long have you been married? Any chidlren?

Do you have a job? If you do is it enough for you to support yourself?

More info is needed before any real solid advice can be given.

Hope you're at least feeling better,scooter

Don't know how big the area you live in is,but there must be some women's support groups and agencies around there to help.Talking to others in your position can help clear the confusion and local networking can point you in directions you may have not realized were available.Don't be afraid to reach out.Organizations for women's help are there for a reason.You aren't alone,so don't ever think you are.

Would like to hear some hope from you when and if you post again.Positive vibes to you and your daughters from the "great white north".
