Am I wrong?

hi, hope someone can help as I have no one to ask and no one to turn too.
I have been with my husband for nearly 22 years we have two children a boy and a girl. I am very unhappy. Our marriage has not been easy, but I think I finally want out. I am jealous of the way he dotes on our little girl and I hate the way he swears at our son and calls him stupid - he has Aspergers and ADHD and has been handful, I am no saint I think I am a pretty terrible mother, I shout at them and lose my patience. He calls me tart, whore and bitch in front of them all the time, he says it is a joke but I do not like it. He has always been jealous and we had a very rough patch when we fought all the time but this was years ago and we have just carried on, I bite my Tongue and keep quite cause it is easier then starting an argument but I am ashamed, I should not let him treat the children so and me either. But since our bad patch we lost all our friends as I told them what was going on and he did not want to see them anymore, I also told family and I lost them too, he was never keen on me having friends or family anyway our friends where always joint. I am desperate for some advice I feel I am doing the wrong thing and should just try harder, but then I think NO WAY enough is enough, I can do better and be better on my own. Would love any advice but please do not be too harsh I am very vulnerable at the moment, thanks

Unzippy, really relieved to hear you made up your mind. Yes, your DCs wouldn't hardly develop their own life later happily under the influence of abusing parent. You are making the right decision.

But agree that you shall reach out for some substantial help in real life so that you can cope with it with more confidence and some practical advice. If you want to make it happen, make it happen with full support. It is important when you become unsure again or when you encounter any difficulties.
