In your thinking, you are coming up with many excuses as to not leave your husband at this time.

You are right sabby I am. You all have been great in helping appraise these excuses. I don't know if he really meets the clinical definition of a narcissist or not, but he certainly demonstrates many of these traits. I know if I leave things are going to get really ugly. There is no doubt here! I will not be dealing with a rational man. He either cannot or will not be able to put the what is in the best interest of our children as a priority.

In the same light I need to make sure that my actions are in the best interest of my children. I just don't know!!! I'm afraid the actions I might take will make things worse for them not better.

For what ever reason I just haven't been able to take the ultimate action yet. I'm hoping that there is good reason for this and that it is not simply because I'm afraid.
