[QUOTE="Star*, post: 422449, member: 4964"] I didn't realize that your husband was abusive to this degree, forgive me for not advising you to leave. I'm so glad you took JJJ's advice about getting a lawyer - good for you! I left my x over 16 years ago and went into hiding after I got my son back. We managed to stay off the radar for about 8 years, until someone messed up my private listing for phone. I still haven't seen him in 16 years, but our son decided that he needed to face him and went to see him. Nothing changed, he never got help for his problems, and my son sees now my silence spoke volumes about the situation I took him from. I certainly didn't get married to get divorced. I also highly recommend counseling for you and all the kids. Divorce or separation or whatever it is you all are going to do affects each child and you differently, and they'll need someone to talk to - not you. Please give them that choice/opportunity. Also know you aren't alone - ever. You have more friends here than you know-all the time. You also have more women here that have been where you are right now, know how impossible everything seems, and can tell you for true that it gets so much better. Not a morning goes by that I don't wake up, open my eyes - look at my ceiling and than God - it's mine, it's quiet, I have peace. It didn't come easy - but it was worth working hard for. Hugs & Love to you and your kids [/QUOTE]
