I'm finding this very difficult to write, but mostly because in my heart I know i have only put up with s**t for the last 13 years because he coz pays the bills!
Anyway, I've been with my husband for 16 years and we have 3 kids and 2 dogs. However, in the last 10 years he has bought and sold 18 cars!!! He is constantly telling me (and the kids) that we need to save money, like turning off lights and not drinking milk! But he loses 5k on his car buying addiction! I'm at my wits end and I need to leave, but I need help! How can I leave? Is there any help for a single mother of 3? I've heard the 'you can stay in your home til the youngest is 16(?)' But that is not a option, I need to leave otherwise he will always show up!
