I've had a very unhappy marriage since it began years and years ago. I am not happy and haven't been in a very long time. However, with the confusion caused by mental health issues, it is making it impossible to make a decision about if I need to just cut ties and leave or stick it out. I have constant fear of staying in the situation and being completely unhappy. I also fear the unknown of me being out on my own (as I've never been on my own). I don't know how to overcome that fear and take that step toward freedom. So it keeps me captive.
