Lovin' The Homestead
Well I have been with my husband since I was a senior in high school. We have been married for three years but have been together for 8 1/2. We have had our ups and downs a lot of it due to his family. He had to buy our first house three years ago that is across the street from them which was our first mistake. His father has a farm that my husband was raised on. He still helps every day after work and all day long every weekend. We have been here three years and each year I am doing more and more by myself because he is never home. Finally, I have had enough. I told him it is our family (myself and the two little ones) or his father's family. Well he choose his father. So after all these years I have been a stay at home mother raises his kids, he wants a divorce. I am upset by this of course but then I think about I am already doing everything on the farm myself already. I do get money from the farm and I also have a small business that I started. I know that I can get by on my own. I have been looking for a house that will be perfect for the kids and animals. I think I have found it. My mother is helping me get this place. It is a farm with 18 acres. It has several outbuildings. I just need to get the fence up. After all these years with the same person, I am scared to be on my own because I have always been with him. I see this as a new start. Maybe not the way I wanted to start out on my own, but it is what it is. I am just looking forward to being able to do everything the way I want even if I never get a break. We plan to make an offer on the house tomorrow. I sure hope that I get it.
