first of all, i want to apologize for being a bad friend- i felt terrible when i saw your post and realized i had been mia and not realizing that you were going through such a hard time. you were always there for me when i needed someone, so here i am, ready to wipe away your tears! :)

i read your past few posts to catch up, and i want to tell you that i am so proud of you. you are an unbelievably strong woman and a wonderful mother. it is easy to know intellectually that a husband is being abusive and not what he should be. but there are so many women (like my mother) who stay and remain miserable forever for fear of not having the strength to leave. i don't know if your husband mistreats your son, but even if he doesn't directly, his behavior towards you would be hurtful to your son. so, the fact that you are showing your son the example that we shouldn't put up with people not treating us well, and you are saving him from a potentially abusive and unhappy household as he gets older is the kindest most wonderful thing you can do for him. i wish my mother would have been as strong as you. she had no idea at the time how much better off we would have been if she had gotten a divorce. i know that you are worried about telling your son, but know that after his initial saddness he will have way more happiness in the end and so will you.

i am so sorry that you have to go through all of this. you are an amazing person- and on behalf of all of the children i know whose moms weren't strong enough to end things and as i know your son will say to you some day- thank you for your courage, you are an inspiration. i am getting choked up writing this, and i was trying to make you feel better! i guess this isn't a sugary sweet band aid message, but one that is a bit more powerful and i hope leaves you feeling strong and proud of yourself. :)

lots of hugs!

I don't know what to say in a situation like this, but I am glad that you are doing what is best for you sweetie.

You are a strong woman and you will make it through this.

Take care
