I really want to leave my family --- my wife and kid. I think I will do better emotionally if I live alone. My fears are financial. They won't have enough to live like they do now if I leave, and I don't know how I will make it. Any advice?

Why not try some couples or family counseling before giving up on the whole family? OR just go into counseling on your own ~ therapy has done me a world of good, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has benefited from it.
 Sometimes just getting someone else's advice/outlook on things helps to clarify things a little better. And sometimes we have to delve a little deeper into our past to get to the root of the problem. It's worth a try rather than just calling it quits before you've tried everything to save the marriage & family. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

I hope that you find a solution that will be in the best interest of everyone involved, especially your child.
Have you discussed this with your wife? What are her thoughts? Is therapy an option?

I've been there man..In life we go through stages, look back and have regrets, want something different for the future. Is this what may be happening? what is prompting these feelings? Talk this out man...here or with a good therapist.

why not use a therapist to help you sort all of this out. it will aid in defining your decision. the T may also suggest some individual and group therapy with your spouse. all the above, imho, will help you.

welcome to PC. I hope that you find support here. I would also recommend talking to a therapist or someone removed from the situation so you can figure out what your best options are. Why do you think you will be emotionally better off if you live alone?
