Planning to walk away from everything for the weekend

Hello, I'm back to tell you that I've had enough and I need everything to stop for a bit. I'm planning on going away for the weekend, leaving the husband with the kids, going to the shop and not coming back.

I don't know where to go but I can think of a few places where I could turn up and try my luck, I don't drive so I will need to take money from my husbands wallet and take my debit card for paying for somewhere to stay. The kids can go to MIL she's really good with them and I'll let my church know I'm alive and intend on staying that way. I need to take a bag with me with essentials and iron clothes for the boys and DH for church on Sunday, will aim to get back Sunday PM. I can't cope any other way.

What is it that's getting too much for you?

Do you want to talk?

I'm not sure really, I just need everything to stop, especially my marriage, I just need to press pause. I hate the thought of leaving the DC but I don't feel like I have a choice anymore, thanks for replying dulcegusto

ah right ok. Is the time away to plan how you are going to leave permanently, or is there a chance after having a break, you will be ok with your husband?
Will you tell them where you are going?

I think some time away will help, I will be able to gather my thoughts and pray without being torn in 3 different directions z

oh love. i am sorry.

maybe you could go to women's aid in the next town/city?
they won't know you, and at least you'll be away for a while. and maybe there will be someone there who can just hold your hand for a bit.

just an idea. just want you to be safe x

Do you have anyone nearby you could visit for some support?

If not, then women's aid or a health service.

You do sound very sad and im concerned for your safety. Do you have a friend you could go hide with?

Can you just stay with a friend for the weekend.Lots of people go away for short breaks.When my kids were young ,I often went away for a few days. It gave me and everyone a break.
Dont know your previous postings.

My DH has never had the boys on his own before so I know that his mum will come over to help out

Depression makes thoughts go funny.Dont make any important decisions while you are depressed.
Take a break. Everybody has breaks from time to time, even if they have small children. It is vital for everybody.
