Sounds like you already have yr answer hun. His traits and values are different than your own. It's so easy to stay with someone esp when we hate to be alone. I lived with a lying sociopath for 7 years because I was afraid of leaving...of being alone. In the end it was easy to leave him and it was for many reasons. He ended up stealing my pain pills for the second time so I had him arrested. Yes he got in alot of trouble but he did it to himself. He was very manipulative and moody. He had major mental health issues that he wouldn't follow thru on. It's like he went to one appt here and there to please me and keep me quiet. He had me snowed for so many years. I have alot of guilt that I put my kids thru it all. I feel like I missed out on their childhood from being with him. I can't get the time back and it hurts my heart to think about it. So please think of yr kids with this. You need to enjoy yr precious time with them and they need you. You would be much happier on yr own even tho the thought of it makes you feel scared. You can do it and we'll be here to support you all the way. Feel free to pm me if you want to chat more. I'll be here for you and I know you are suffering and I don't want you to. Take care of yr self and yr children. Sending hugs yr way.
