Married with two DCs. Mortgage paid for. I work p/t. I think I've taken enough of walking on egg shells. I've known deep down that despite the good times, there will reach a point when it's awful and it's just happened again yesterday. So many things not right that I don't know where to start explaining but it goes way back. I've been unhappy deep down but pretending not to be for a long time. I've been in denial of the reality. I'm scared of facing taking the plunge and don't have a clue where to start or how it would affect the DCs.
If there is a link to some threads about ducks in order etc or anyone can advise me, I would be so grateful. TIA.

Sorry to hear that.

Let me try to link this thread with some really useful advice:

Sending you sympathy hugs.

Thank you Iris Rainbow. Some really good advice there. I want to do it but don't know if I'm strong enough...

Let's do it together Grin

Seriously though, you'll find the strength when you're ready. I think once you start things moving, you gain momentum.

@bobby335 how are things going?

Thank you for checking on me. I'm still here. Life has returned to normal and we're trying to work through things. He's getting some MH support through work.

Have you decided against leaving, OP? X

bobby335 · 15/11/2020 07:30

Hi. Yes, I have. I don't think I have the strength to do it. Despite the difficult times, we are actually very close and the thought of being apart upsets me. We have two dcs - the younger one (11) is usually the trigger for the stressful episodes. Her behaviour can be awful.
