When our children are not in the environment we desire for their well being, it takes a toll on our mental health and your situation is especially hard. If your H is there with you, perhaps figure out a way to get to the shelter (leave in the middle of the night while he is sleeping?) I think the shelter would be better because you may feel less isolated and controlled there. Plus your H is abusing you--that is taking a toll on you, you really need to escape being treated like that. It is shameful if your parents are letting him stay there. I've read some of your other posts. I hope the situation improves for you and your children....  |
I agree, having young children makes it so much harder. Mine are both so young that I should be enjoying maternity leave but I cannot.
My partner followed me to my parents eventually after his threats of suicide.. swore he would get the help he needed but never did.
My family is definitely dysfunctional and they allow him to stay with, they don't really talk to me much, and don't bother with anything other than their phones, the couch or the TV. Sad.
He leaves on Friday and i think when hes gone i will have the freedom to be able to get myself on track and the support i really need.
