Things have been difficult for a number of years. There has been some emotional and verbal abuse. I've stayed because I was financially dependent on him but yesterday things came to a head and I just can't do it anymore. I don't want to live the rest of my life feeling afraid. He is constantly angry with me and we both want out.

We have two children. I don't want it to be unpleasant for them. How I can I do this as pain free as possible? I've not desire to make things difficult for him I don't see the point. I just want us all sorted. Should I go to a solicitor alone? With him? I just don't know what to do first and I don't have much in the way of emotional support around me.

Afraid I can't comment as a divorcee, but as an adult child of divorce who lived through a decade of on/off fights, divorce threats and proceedings. I do feel that if your relationship is truly over then ending things ASAP would be the most pain free thing for your children. Ideally retaining as positive a relationship as joint parents.
