Husband is abusive & possibly bipolar. Has low self-esteem. We're trying counseling. I don't think he'll change, only get better for a while, or will change but it will take so long, & I have already been through so much for so long. He asked if he should move out & I said yes. The next day, he changed his mind. If I leave & take our daughter with, will that look bad in the court's eyes because I'm taking her out of her home? I feel so guilty & like I'm giving up. Should I trust my guilt or my feeling that things won't change or will take too long? I think I'm only staying because I feel sorry for him. If I never had to deal with him again, I would just leave but, because of our daughter, I will have to continue to deal with him. I also heard most abusive man don't quit, only stop for a while. I've wanted to leave for at least 3 years. I haven't had the guts, or he talks me into coming back. He's depressed & talks about suicide. I'm afraid my leaving will trigger an attempt.
