I want to leave my husband after years of emotional abuse.
I have 2 young children and need some advice on what I should do to prepare for the realities and any tips people have.
I don’t need to leave right now. I am not in danger, but having made the decision, I want to be well prepared and in control as much as I can. Having been though emotional hell, having lost all self esteem and thinking that I was the problem, I am now feeling stronger than ever. I have a little guilt at having to pretend everything is ok until the time is ‘right’, but it’s a small price to pay for what I want.
Watch some of the Mamamia team reveal the moment they knew they wanted to divorce their husbands (post continues after video).
I want to live in a home where I can be me, my kids can be kids and I’m not walking on eggshells every time I do something/don’t so something or open my mouth. I want to stop protecting my kids from annoying their dad.
I want prime custody – of course – but don’t want to prevent him access. I don’t want this to be about the kids at all. I can’t let emotion be part of this. My husband is a very literal and practical person who doesn’t understand human emotion, therefore even my approach to telling him I want this needs to be emotionally free.
Thankfully he almost destroyed that part of me so I can do that…
Please help.

My daughter do you know what you are saying that you will only have the money by july? the TAX office said they will be trowing your chime away. my daughter i want you to try your possible best to get the money this week because they said that if you did not get the money this week, they will trow it away. so you have to get the money today and send it to me so that i can also send the money to the TAX office so that the delivery can commence immediately okay because they said that you only have today and tomorrow to send the money and if you did not send the money as they have promise, they will trow it away in to the river. but my daughter i did not want that to happen okay because it take my time so much time to prepare that chime for you and is going to work for you okay. my daughter if i may ask, do you know what will happen to you and your family if they trow that chime away? you don't know what will happen that is why you are saying by july now i will have to advice you as my daughter that you should try your possible best to send that money now and get back to me immediately so that i can give you the payment information you will use to send the money to me so that i can also send the money to them because my son information you use before that my son have travel okay so i will have to give you another information you will use to send the money now. my daughter i did not want you to DIE or any member of your family to die because if they trow it away. so you have to look for someone who will borrow you the money so that everything can be settle since they have agree to collect $300 from you. my daughter go and look for the money now and get back to me immediately since they said they have give you 2days to send the money ales they will trow it to the river.
