I guess I was just trying to have a real family. He is funny and wonderful when things are OK. I have a son with him and I love him. I think that's what it boils down to.
I'm 33 and he's 52. It's a messed up situation and I know that I should move on.

That must be very difficult, feeling like you should leave, yet you're unable to. I admire your dream of having a family and I know that fighting against strong feelings like that is so confusing and frustrating. It must be very scary to think of life without him too. Please know that you're not a terrible person, you've just made some mistakes and we all make mistakes.
You may have thought about this already and I won't tell you what to do. I would just like you to consider that sometimes the most loving thing to do, for both you and your partner, is to stop seeing each other if the relationship is clearly unhealthy. It's up to you to figure out if this is accurate in your situation. Either way, I hope you will find some relief.
