I need to know what it is like after leaving an abusive(verbally/emotionally, physical some yrs. ago) relationship. Married 13 years; 2 young children and I can't take this abuse anymore. The hollering in my face, the name calling from fat *****, worthless ************, lazy, free loading deadweight, stupid, etc.Or even the silent treatment that lasts for weeks sometimes. I feel like I am dying when he does this. Even in front of my kids. I just need to go but I need a push because I feel so helpless and worthless.
I am dependent on him at this time but I know he'll have to pay child support. I have a solid work history except for my lay off a year ago. I am looking for a job though.
My husband is NEVER satisfied with anything I do for long. If I give in to all of his demands, he'll just get enraged over something trivial. My therapist says I should learn to ignore him and be happy anyway. This is not an easy task. Most people say leave but it is SO SCARY to me. Any advice?
