Hi Michelle, As a person who deals with these types of situations all the time I can tell you, your first legal and moral responsibility is to your children at the moment. Their's and your safety is key. You cannot second guess what your husband may or may not do at this point. Getting you and your children out of harms way is not the same as getting a divorce. You can still work on your marriage from a distance and your family will be safe. I'm sure this is not the environment you would want your children to be in.
Consider this, what can you accomplish by staying with your husband in his current condition? Has staying with him so far helped the situation? What can you accomplish by separating for a time? What are the long lasting effects this is having on your children? Sometimes when we're in the middle of a heartbreaking situation we need to stand back and take a look from a different perspective. Staying in God's word is first and foremost, builds your faith and draws you closer to the Lord. You may also want to consider that the Lord is leading you in a different direction with your marriage, family and job than you had once thought. Sometimes it is difficult to think clearly when we are in the thick of an emotionally charged and dysfunctional family life. Take a breather, get safe, seek the Lord, know what God's word says and then consider what is next. (((((hugs)))))
