Yes also to getting away from my husband. He triggers all my abandonment issues and depression and I'd rather spend my life alone than deal with that constant pain. I feel like I'm on fire and instead of him pouring a bucket of water on me, he just fans the flames. He says he understands what im going through, but if actually did, he wouldn't be the gasoline source to my suffering.

Well you should be proud of yourself for recognizing these problems and distancing yourself from them for the good of everyone. I hope you can get into the residential treatment center soon and maybe at some point get some couples counseling to get a better understanding of each other and see if it can be worked out. Sometimes it can't and a therapist should be able to offer an objective view on that. I have a friend and he and his wife can not live together. They are legally married but drive each other crazy when they are together. But when they live in separate places they get along great, go on dates, go on trips, it's really odd but it works for them. I wish you the best with this, I really do. Your family deserves to be happy, but some changes may need to be made to make that happen. I think you are open minded enough to see that. That's wonderful.
