Big hugs to you!

I didn't originally want to respond to this thread because up until recently, I didn't realize I was (and is) in an abusive relationship. I'm in my mid 40s with 2 young children, 3 and 1, and it pains me how this is affecting my children.

He doesn't beat me, so extra hugs and prayers for those who are.

But the psychological bs that plays in and out daily is too much. I just want to enjoy my kids. I just want to enjoy my new hobby. I just want to enjoy the next few chapters of my life.
