Is it time to move on?
| Sun, 12-05-2004 - 6:50am |
We have been together since my son was 2 years old and now he is 7. We have 2 kids together and have been living together for quite some time. The emotional abuse and verbal abuse is more than I can take. He says that it's not abuse that I am just crazy and need medication, and need to change my way of thinking. I want to leave him but am scared. It seems lately all we do is is argue, fuss and fight. Is it time to move on?

The big question is..."can you and the two children 'survive' without the presence of MR. ABUSIVE?" You didn't indicate who was working and whether either one of you had made arrangements in the event of a breakup.
Perhaps some free legal advice is the first step you should take? Nobody (woman or man) should be subjected to an abusive partner, but if you're REALLY SERIOUS about making a break in your relationship...you've got to formulate and activate a solid plan.
Aside from the responsibilities of supporting yourself, there are also 2 children involved...and they're counting on you to keep their lives stable!

Be strong for yourself and the kids. Our relationship didn't have the abusiveness you say yours has, but that didn't matter.
