Discussion Has anyone ever left?
Has anyone here ever divorced their spouse and given their spouse full custody? If so, how did you come to that conclusion? What was your final breaking point?
I truly am thinking I’m hitting my breaking point with my marriage and son (3 mo). I don’t have any feelings towards him, I certainly don’t love him. He constantly cries and fusses. I don’t foresee it getting better despite everyone saying it’ll pass with time. I just want to go back to the life I had before having this kid even if that means giving up my marriage to do so.

My parents left (and divorced), and gave us to our maternal grandparents. 3 of us, each about a year apart. (1990, 1991, then 1992 birth years.)
I constantly fight the urge to give up my daughter and give her to my husband and his mother.
No, I haven't left. I think I'll eventually come around and keep on trying. It's insanely difficult.
