I'm very sorry to hear about the situation you find yourself living in, sweetandsour.

Western culture is very different than the one that you find yourself living in ~ have you ever talked with friends or family about your unhappiness and the situation you're in? Is the man considered to be "the boss", and his desires rule the home? Or do you have somewhat of a say in things? I can't imagine your life getting much happier until you are able to have some say in the future.

I do understand your hesitation to end the relationship, in fear of your daughter being emotionally hurt. It is a tough position, no doubt about it. Children are very astute though. While you may never come out with your angry feelings towards your husband, I can imagine that there is an emotional tension between the two of you. Children are able to pick up on that reality at a very young age though. Children's lives naturally revolve around them, and they automatically blame themselves for the tension, anger, resentment, etc. that is or isn't spoken of.

I wish you and your daughter the very best ~ I hope that you're able to find some hope and happiness in this world.
