You are not alone. I suffered psychological abuse from my H for 5 years before I finally told him that I wasn't happy. We went to marriage counseling and turns out he suffers from depression. Regardless, I am still leaning towards a separation. I am just not happy. It was like suddenly the lights switched on and I just can't go back to the way things were. I have a son, and I am worried about hurting him if we divorce, but I feel so trapped. I was thinking about all of the stress I go through on a daily basis and it is not worth it. BE STRONG! Save as much money as possible and start a new life with your son. You'll be OK.
I can relate since my DH has bipolar.
Thanks so much for your response.
I am so glad you responded to my post!
