Hello Gilbert,
 
I am a member of the Divorced Support Meetup group and got your contact from the postings there.  I have also visited your website and hope to get some advice from you.
 
My husband has  left the family home for a year now.  Prior to that, he has started to become very cold to me (out of the blue) to the extent of ignoring me  and that’s when we started the frequent quarrels.  I was very puzzled by his behaviourial  change and he was basically oblivious to the family matters.  He claimed that he has decided to find freedom, think of his own interest first and do what he wants to do.  He was also using abusive languages in front of our children.  A month after he left in July 2009, my children and I spotted him with a woman.  Perhaps it was really God’s blessing that the the truth is  out.  He turned pale and claimed that it was just a friend.  Since Aug 2009, he has totally no contact whatsoever  with me and our 3 children.

Not even a phone call or visit.  I did attempt to sms him but he ignored them totally.
 
Since he left, I have  single-handedly managed my household with 3 young children.  I have been contemplating divorce but didn’t have the heart to execute it.  We have  known each other for 25 years and married for 15 years.  I cannot imagine a once so family loving father/husband can turn to become so heartless. 

I would like to seek counselling advice on my possible options and rights. Thank you.
 
Regards,
Lily
