Help - divorce or stay

Hi,
I don't know what to do.
My husband has anger issues - verbal put downs, swearing shouting. I am so low and unhappy. We have a 3 year old boy. I'm worried how this is effecting him as the swearing and shouting sometimes extends to him.
We have been together 15 years. We created a life with shared friends and family. Then we had a baby and his anxiety and anger issues started. He's on medication but won't do anything else. Should I stay put up with the unhappiness for my son and shared life or leave everything. He downplays everything and makes me feel crazy. Help.

Of course you need to leaVe or get him to leave
You cannot stay with an angry person

Maybe he sorts himself out or not
But don't wait around in same house

Allowing your son to continue to be abused is definitely not in his best interests.

You need some real life support before you leave. Speak to women’s aid or your HV.

My parents 'stayed together for the kids'. Put it this way, i don't thank them. And they are still together and miserable after 50 years! Id much rather have had happy single parents who went on to enjoy their retirement.
