Hello
I've been lurking in this forum for some time now just trying to get some reassurance that I'm not the only one going through such a horrible time at home.
To cut a long story short DP is a complete arse. We are so incompatible in every way and even strangers comment on it. I won't even go into how horrid he is as I know everyone will tell me to run a mile. The worse thing is, is that now 11 year old DS is replicating his dad's behaviour and has been verbally abusive and disrespectful towards me lately and his behaviour seems to be getting worse.
I know I need to leave but I just feel I've been pushed down so low I just don't have the strength to do it. Anybody else feel like they've just given up and it would be easier to stay miserable as the energy required to end it all just seems too much to summon?
I've put on weight, probably drink more than I should and have given up on doing more than basic housework. The only thing that is going well in life is work and my DD is a little ray of sunshine.
I haven't spoken to anybody about this but I do think my mum is aware although I can't talk to her about it as she is very judgemental and I know she would disapprove - I can hear her now saying, you've got a lovely house, DP works hard and the children are happy - stop being so selfish blah blah blah.
It's probably coming across that I am really sensitive to other peoples opinions of me and this is why I haven't left yet!
