I work around many single women whose husbands and/or boyfriends left thembecause of an autistic child. These men need to be men and stop using their foul mouths and support women when they are raising their kids. You did not bring your child in this world alone. It is easy for someone to say leave your abusive husband but when you need milk, it is hard to move around with a child with autism. My suggestion is to let him babysit the kids while you empower yourself by taking classes that helps you to grow in a field of your interest. You will meet people and when the time is right, you will tell him to go. Please hang in there and let your friends help you... They will understand. Remember, "STICKS AND stones may hurt your bones, but words will never hurt" Love u darling forsharing ur storyg
