Here for a handhold Namechange08 . I hope you're ok and feel able to come back to the thread. You're not pathetic, this is hard, really hard and heartbreaking and confusing and feels plain wrong at times. He's not going to change, he won't even take responsibility for what he did. It's not your fault, no matter what he says it is not your fault. Please keep posting, others telling you his abusive and you're not responsible might feel wrong right now, but if you hear it enough it slips into your subconscious and it helps you believe the truth, that you and your kids need to be away from him before he causes any more truama.
Remind yourself how many people on here know what he's really like and they support you and they know he's a horrible person even if you can't see it yet. You will get there xxx.
