My husband went to prison, what am I suppose to do?
|
Me and my husband have been married for 4 years now and I never thought he would end up in prison. We have 3 daughters (3 and 1 yr twins) and a son (2) together. He was charged with 2nd degree murder and now is serving 18 years without parole. What am I suppose to do? By the time he gets out our kids will be 21, 20 and 19! I can't raise them on my own! Should I get a divorce? I am so confused! Please help!

You already answered your question.
"I can't raise them on my own!"
If you know this, you need to move on. |

Do you want to put your life on hold for 18 years? Can you sacrifice the best days of your life for this man so you can be together when he gets out? If you can say yes to both these questions, then stick with your marriage. If you can't, then get out of it. He put himself in there after all. |

First thing you have to do is get a job if you dont have one,
Second get a good divorce lawyer it will be very easy for you seeing he;s in jail.
take good care of the babies and go on with your life, |

That's a lot and I commend you for attempting to be strong for your children. I want to first point out your statement "I can't raise them on my own!" I hope you have some form of support, family or friends, that can help you with the children. I don't think you need to get a divorce and jump into another relationship just for some help raising your children. That could bring on other problems. Next, ask yourself why you should get a divorce. Do you not love your husband anymore? Are you blaming him for what he was charged with and the fact that he left you to raise your 3 children alone? I think you shouldn't make such a big decision while your upset and vulnerable. I also feel like this is something that you need to discuss with your husband and ponder about for a while. I hope that the answers you receive are very open and no one is telling you to get a divorce. This is a decision that only you can make because in the end when your children ask why you got a divorce from their father you need to be able to answer with a legitimate answer and not because someone from the internet told you to.
I suggest you seek counseling or some support rather it's from family, church, etc. Figure out some way to cope with this and develop an outlet. Hang in there not only for your children but also for yourself! |

If he is guilty, then you need to do what is best for your children, which would be to find another, GOOD, let me repeat, GOOD, man. This is no father figure for them, and no life for you.
If you know for a fact he is innocent, then you should help fight for him. But it doesnt sound like that is the case. You need to distance yourself and your children from this obviously idiotic man. |

Divorce him and move on-why would you want to be with someone that killed someone? that is a very bad example for the kids,this happened for a reason,there is another man for you.Is he in a gang?And with so many kids in the house what was he doing out-if he was at home with you he wouldnt have been charged with murder.See if your parents/family will help you |

You need to move on in your life and it may include a divorce. This is hard to answer, but you have to do what is best for your family and especially for your children.
You need help and support from your family, perhaps your relatives and others you know. However, it is up to you on what you decide. I agree you can't raise your children on your own, and you need someone there for you. Do what is best for you and your family, but it is your decision on whether you want to divorce him. If you feel you should divorce him now, and move on in your life then do that. But, if you need to consider other things before a divorce take some time to think about it. |

Get a Divorce. And move on with your life. He is in prison and he was tried by a jury who believed he was guilty. Leaving you with all the responsibility's. Get involved with the help you can receive from the state and work at getting your family back on track. I feel for you, really good luck. |
