I know this is a bit over due, but everyone must do what is in their own best
interest. My mother and father stayed together because of my 2 brothers and I.
They were both in a very abusive relationship. My father physically abused my
mother when he was drunk, and my mother would emotionally abuse him when he
wasn't. It was a vicious circle. I am 26 years old now with 2 beautiful baby
boys, and i too, was in an abusive relationship with my ex-husband. Yes you
heard right "ex-husband." I was able to leave him, and find support from my
family. However, if I didn't have support, I probably would've stayed with my
ex-husband. That's what I mean by doing what's in the individuals own best
interest. It's not easy finding help from strangers. People shouldn't have to
tell you whether to get out of an abusive relationship or not...in the end...you
know exactly what you want, and you know exactly what you are willing to do, and
you'll do it if you so see fit.

most of that time. I need to hear from people in the same boat so I
can find out how to deal with things and know that I am not alone. We
were going to divorce but stayed together for our two girls, now ages
19 ans 16. I would love advise and support and direction on how to
get out of this situation Thank you...........Barbara
