You most definitely have the right to call things as you see them and make your own decisions. It certainly sounds like you have done a lot of thinking about your situation and you are not acting impulsively or without coming up with a plan.

The only exception I have to one of your thoughts is that you said your kids were too young to understand that your husband is treating you badly....I happen to disagree with that. No matter what age the children are.....they can become what they live. If they see and hear your husband not speaking respectfully or any physical violence, even at their young age, they will remember it. They may not realize it is improper behavior....but they can learn how to copy it and live it. Please don't forget that when there is stress in the household, the children feed off it like crazy. If you or your husband are in bad moods or anxious or angry, they will respond to those emotions with their own anxiety.

I really hope you have a safe and healthy delivery and you heal well. Once you get through that part....then you can begin to make decisions about your living arrangements and marriage.

Take good care of YOU!
