BigMama ~ Don't worry about hurting my feelings -- you certainly did NOT. I'm not THAT easily hurt. I know you're hesitant to leave for have HIM leave, but I'm just afraid for your safety and what the kids have to witness. Kids shouldn't have to see that kind of behavior cause children LEARN what they LIVE. That's going to be hard to get that out of their little minds. You don't want to 'grow little abusers." It's very possible you will.

Anyway, you have to trust your own judgement and that of your therapist. I wish you the very best. I'm just going by my own experience and that of what my own therapist advised. Take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee
