I asked my husband to leave 12 weeks ago after years of emotional and psychological abuse. I tried so hard for so long to keep the marriage intact. There is nothing spiritually or practically that I did not try, but I was on the verge of a mental breakdown and my children were being affected, especially my teenage son.
I wasn't sure when we separated what would happen, but his refusal to accept any responsibility for his abuse (and alcoholism) and his relationship with an "old friend" have led me to divorce. I am so broken, so beaten down, and I just don't know how to overcome the pain. I am in Christian counseling and my church family is so supportive, but the pain is almost unbearable.
I guess I am just hoping for some support from folks who are or have been in similar situations...
