OK I have a wide network of friends both in and out of the church If you need a place to store stuff, transport for it
I may be able to help – cant promise anything but I can ask around
Happymom, your story is very sad. Have you considered that there is absolutely nothing wrong with separation, as long as you are not “alone” (since it’s truly not good for man to be alone), and as long as you aren’t trying to start another family? Sometimes, maybe in your case, a long walk to clear one’s head may need to stretch out for months or years. Can you be with family? Can you strike out in faith and then work on getting a modest place to sleep? Peace in a hovel is worth all the kingdoms of the world.
Of course you don’t want to go and start another family, but from what you’ve said, I’m thinking that your husband wants your marriage to work. I’m not hearing that he would go and get a divorce just because you legally separated from him. And of course you will reassure him that it’s only until you know it is safe to have your family together again.
Please separate and don’t return without a formally written agreement about your rules! And please let us know how things go. You need this. Your children need this. The world needs this from you.

I actually wanted to stay separated when we were first talking about getting back together. I needed some space and wanted to feel like I had a home and be able to hang up the pictures that I wanted (such as Christ). Sometimes I love spending time with him and other times I feel like running far far away. I just don’t know if we really want the same things in life. He is really big on science and wants to create the next energy source. I love that about him but at the same time I’m constantly being left alone and hurt. I want more out of life than just being known as the wife of Mr. so and so. I guess I just want to feel like a partner again and not a secretary or something. I don’t know if I’m making much sense but I would love to have someone support me so I could go to the temple or go to church.
