I don't know what to do. Been with husband for 12 years and have 2 kids together... Problem is he makes me so unhappy! We've had our fair share of problems in the past and went to marriage counselling for a year. He has been verbally and emotionally abusive throughout our whole relationship - with periods of him being ok or nice! Every time I told him it's over, he is really nice for a couple of weeks and makes all these empty promises about changing but never does. I then end up feeling weaker than ever and annoyed with myself having believed him. Obviously we have our kids so in my mind I think I'll try once more for them. it always breaks my heart thinking about how they would cope if we separated. I know that I have a right to happiness and that a happy parent means happy children etc but I'm so scared. I don't know if I'm emotionally strong enough to be a single parent and I don't know how we'll get by financially. I know it's something I have to do sooner or later but I'm so scared. Please help!
