My mood is a lot better today, I've notice it can swing quite a lot from feeling really down to being okay. I've sometimes wonder if I may be bipolar, or if it is normal to go through mood swings given my situation.

I have a history of depression. I'm currently trying to get separated from my common law husband bc exactly as you say, things stemming from your environment. My mental health and general happiness has seriously deteriorated' over the years. I know divorce is scary, but you have to put yourself and your child's well being first. I too have a child, and I don't want him growing up with the misery we are currently living. If parents are separated and living happily, a child is more likely to be happy vs growing up in an unhappy home with parents in a dysfunctional relationship. Whatever you choose, it won't be easy. If you do choose to think about divorce, people I know have said it will be a long road. You might go through hell but once you get to the other side, it's glorious.
