I want to make room for my mind

Due to my husband's financial neglect, mental DV, running away from home, my irresponsible parent-in-law family, and that environment, my mental capacity for children I originally wanted to cherish has decreased, and it almost collapses due to self-loathing.

Until now, I've been swayed and hurt all the time by my husband's repeated financial troubles and makeshift statements and lies.
Living expenses are not included, and if discussions are sought, issues are misplaced and responsibility is transferred.
I often have different memories about facts, so the conversation doesn't mesh.
My parents-in-law who asked for help are just like my husband. They have strong self-preservation and are good on the outside, and while understanding my husband's lies, they blame me and put themselves in the position of the victim. It's an uncooperative and dishonest response because they don't seem to want to wipe my husband's butt.
Over and over again, I desperately told my husband and parents-in-law that they would understand next time.
I want you to honestly talk about any disadvantages or things that are difficult to say. At times like this, I want them to do this, and they come up with a specific plan. I'll try to convey it while empathizing. I want you to understand the suffering, so I explained the circumstances in detail.
However, any method of communication is no good.
The facts are distorted, and it is replaced by a story where I became emotional rather than the beginning of the incident, and that I am an insane villain who makes contact in this way.

From the beginning of marriage, it was my parents who helped me by taking action in everything.
My mother also told me things my parents-in-law had to do with my husband. However, even there, my husband was an ad hoc and well-behaved reply.
I also feel very stressed by the situation where my parents are involved and made to suffer in this way.

My husband ran away from home a few months ago, and I don't know where he is or what he is doing.
They don't touch on topics that are not convenient and are one-sided.

There are 2 infants. It's a complete one-op.
I regularly ask outside for care and cleaning, but I have a lot of plans for my children, etc., and I'm busy with schedule management and time due to mommy brain, stress, and forgetfulness a lot.
I feel so full, and I hate myself because I can't gently accept my child's bad years and feelings of wanting to be spoiled.
For example, “Put on your shoes!” “If I'm not going to eat, I'll clean up already!” It makes me say it in a strong way, like an instruction. I want to encourage them by making the switch in a fun way.

It's sad that my heart and spirit have been cut down in this way, and I'm no longer who I am.
How should we protect our hearts from this environment in order to protect our children?
I want you to tell me how to be calm.

You should rely on specialized agencies such as “Law Terrace” and appeal to legal means

I would like to express my sincere respect for those of you who protect your young life by yourself every day and are surviving extreme conditions. You're blaming yourself for “not being kind to kids,” but that's not because you don't have enough love. This is because my heart is already overflowing with unreasonable pain from my husband and parents-in-law. Please don't blame yourself any more.

In Buddhism, there is a teaching called “let go of obsessions.” Until now, you have done your best to say “I want you to understand” and “I want you to change.” However, having higher expectations than this for someone who doesn't get through words and distorts the facts is like cutting through your own heart with a knife. Now is the time to let go of the obsession with your husband and parents-in-law that “we should be able to share it someday” and start moving towards breaking up.

A husband's financial neglect or run away from home is a waiver of duty as a parent, and it is an act tantamount to child abuse. Here, in order to protect yourself and your children, you should rely on specialized agencies such as “Law Terrace” and appeal to legal means. Let's resolutely ask your husband to claim child support and alimony, and your parents-in-law to cooperate in pursuing legal liability as a moral responsibility that worsened the situation. There is no need to forgive.

The first step to making room for your mind is to physically and legally distance yourself from an environment that cuts you down. By entrusting it to an expert, you will definitely feel at ease. Taking care of yourself the most and ensuring mental and physical safety is the greatest way to raise children healthily. I sincerely hope that peace will come to your future.

Satori! Please ask someone for support right away

Thank you Satori for taking the time out of your busy schedule to consult with us.
My husband's financial neglect, mental abuse, running away from home, irresponsible parents-in-law family

Right now, when I'm taking care of my children, I need my husband's help...

What kind of feelings have you been working so hard with? Just thinking about it tightens my chest.
The hardest time is 1 year old and 3 years old.

There's no way you can be kind to children in this state. Please don't blame yourself like that for self-loathing.

Satori is working hard enough, no, 12 minutes for her mother.

“Shifting the discussion points and shifting responsibility.”
These people just keep doing the same thing over and over again. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any room for improvement.
Even so, if Satori wants to make peace, I think it's fine even after Satori can relax her feelings.

In order to relax your mind, you must first change your environment.
In Satori's case, I feel that immediate environmental improvements are necessary.

Even if you aim your expectations and honesty on someone who hasn't changed, you feel empty. You also want to stop expecting it yourself.

Satori's current feelings, energy, physical strength, and environment creation are more important than her opponent.

In the current situation, even regular checkups for children must be difficult.

If possible, I wonder if I can go back to my parents' house once, or if my mother comes over, or if I need some kind of support.

Also, in the future, just in case, it might be a good idea to keep some kind of record of the financial neglect and mental DV you are currently undergoing.

If you have evidence, people around you can quickly support you when something happens.

Line and email storage. Record phone calls and conversations. It's all you can do. It's important, so you should take a picture and keep it.

There was a saying, “I'm sad that I'm no longer who I really am.”

The current state of child-rearing is not normal. While I am aware, I feel that I must deal with it as soon as possible.

In order to protect Satori's precious and precious children, I think we should change the environment in order to change our feelings.

I know it's going to be difficult, but now is the time to be spoiled by others. Please don't think it's bad, ask for help from others, and try to calm your mind.

I also pray that Satori will be able to have even a little peace of mind.

First of all, you and your children should live with peace of mind

I read it.
I read that you are now being forced into a very difficult situation and are desperately raising your children. Your husband only lied and ran away from home, and your parents-in-law didn't understand you and didn't help you, so now you're being helped by your parents. I don't know the details about you or everyone, but I can tell you that you are really having a very hard time. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.

First of all, please take care of yourself, and rest your mind and body at least a little. To that end, let's promptly contact the local government's child family support center or child counseling center for consultation and actively receive advice and support.
I think it would be a good idea to get support for respite care in order to rest yourself or for your children to eat and live.
First of all, let's get support from many people so that you and your children can live every day with peace of mind, so that you can eat well and live a healthy life. There are various volunteer groups in the community to support child-rearing, and there are also support workers. Please be sure to ask for help and support from such people.
Also, ask your parents to support you to the extent possible.
Let's ask them to help you with your husband by using child and family support centers, child counseling centers, and free legal consultations. If necessary, talk to a lawyer and ask them to handle it. There are probably cases of DV up until now, and there are also child support burdens for children, so let's responsibly ask your husband to respond.

If they have disappeared, I think it's okay to talk to the police station and request a search.
Your parents-in-law will probably hurt you, so stay away.
First of all, please take good care of every day for you and your children.
I sincerely pray that you and your children will be able to live every day with peace of mind with the help and support of many people, and that your children will grow healthily. And I wholeheartedly support you and your children.

It is a legal reason for divorce, and the husband is obligated to maintain a living.

You've been able to endure this far. It must be painful, and I hate it. You're probably standing up for your children, but as a parent, your husband's abandonment of responsibility is not permissible.

Also, my husband's behavior is DV, and abandoning childcare is abuse. This is sufficient ground for legal divorce.
Also, since my husband has an obligation to maintain his life, he is obligated to pay child support, etc. Why don't you ask lawyers who are experts to help you with these?

・Cabinet Office DV Navi Nationwide Telephone Number #8008 (Haleleba)
・DV Consultation Plus (24 hour phone email chat support)
・Spousal Violence Support Center

Also, let's talk about the “Law Terrace Crime Victim Support Dial” at Law Terrace. You can listen to the story on the assumption that you are a DV victim.

Why don't you break ties with your husband or your husband's family as soon as possible in order to protect your dignity, life, and life of yourself and your children?

I work as an administrative consultation support worker on a daily basis. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Everyone is on your side.
