I hurt

I don't know who else to turn to.
I came home this morning from a class on how to use CPAP machine. When I got home there was a moving truck outside my house. My wife of 12 years had packed up and moved out with our 2 children Boy is 8 Girl is 5 May 10. There was no warning of this. I got UC in 2006 and it has been un uphill battle ever since. I got really bad last July and have not been able to return to work. My gastro Doctor doesnt think I will ever return to work as well as my general Family Doctor. I am so hurt, I thought marriage was for though sickness and health. I dont know what to do. Shes left me with no car and well the cubbards are bare. I'm just sick and have to work thoug this myself. No family lives near and I relly don't have any freinds I would share this with.

I'm so very sorry. That sucks. I see in your sig that you are in remission so that's a bright spot.
Contact the Salvation Army and ask for help. They should be able to get you headed in the right direction.
If both your doctor and GI think you are disabled you should be able to apply for SSI benefits.
I'm not an expert on benefits, being self-employed, and I've never gotten any.

Best wishes. Yes we all know how hard UC is.

darn dude, anything else said you have already thought.  Hopefully she is not going too far away with your kids.  Thoughts are with you, divorce already sucks much less on top of this.

I am so very sorry.

Oh that is awful. A shock for sure and very very sad. You sound so alone. My heart goes out to you.

So sorry to hear this John. Please get some help for your depression. My oldest daughter went through the same situation in 2003. Her husband was cheating on her for over a year when she found out. Then she put two and two together and realized all those "business" trips he went on almost every week was business alright...Monkey business. It took a few years but she is fine now. She has primary custody of the children. He takes them every other weekend....Mr. Fun dad. Thank God she met a nice man and has been seeing him for a few years. You will get through this but it will take time. Try to surround yourself with caring friends and relatives and support groups.

She is a b-ch; the situation sucks; life is a very unfair thing!
BUT.
From my experience, being along sometimes helps to concentrate on things which are important for me. If I am along, I do exactly what I see needed, I don’t have to consider anyone’s interests, I can analyze myself and choose what I want to do next. It sounds like nothing, but it might be a lot.
My advice is. Let it go for now, concentrate on your health (nothing is more important), figure out a way to organize whatever is left in your life. I would not look for people’s support; I would rather count only on myself.
In terms of working. I never was in situation where they would say that I would not be able to work. But, I would start looking at work-from-home possibilities as well as any sort of self-employment. I think work is not only about making money, it is also about having some structure to the life.
Sorry about your situation and hope you will feel better soon.

Well today makes three weeks since my wife left me for what turned out to be an old friend. I'm still hurting but get out of bed everyday and try to do a little house cleaning or somthing to better my position. I have had my children quite a bit so that has helped. My daughter turned 5 on May 10 and I had her for the morning so her Moms new boyfriend could take them to dinner and ice cream that evening. I see the doctor before my 8th remicade treatment on May 20th and plan on asking her to release me back to work. If I flare again I am going to have colon removed. Well thats kinda un update here thank you all for your support. JohnIII

Sorry to hear about that.
