: First, I would like to thank those of you who gave me wonderful advice. : Second, I got the guts and did it. I talked to my parents and were shocked and upset because I had hid it for so long. My father also had a talk with him and let him know how disappointed he was in my husband. He moved out of the house even though he begged me not to leave him as usual but he did leave. I was going to wait a little longer before I ended this but one day I felt so hurt because my daughter lost a couple pieces that go to a $2.00 puzzle that I had purchased for her and she was very upset. I told her not to worry and that I would buy her another puzzle that has all the pieces which meant spending money, so he became furious, said I was crazy, and called me many horrible names. I never use any foul language, especially in front of my kids. I also come from a good family where my parents have a great marriage and respect eachother. I knew I just had to end this. : I have been feeling terrible about this though. My kids always ask for him and it does hurt me whenever I go out with my kids and see many couples out there with their kids. I also worry becaue I don't think I wlll be able to make the house payment by myself and will probably end up living with my parents due to this. I feel like a failure sometimes. I hope I really made the right choice for my kids sake. Congratulations and good luck to you. Don't be so hard on yourself. In the end your kids will greatly appreciate everything. My mother did the same when she divorced though my brother and I were older. She had to leave the "family home" since she could not afford it. But we learned how to live and survive, and I learned how to be strong and support myself. What you did was brave, why stay in something and be so miserable and unhappy? Look into local support groups, etc... there are many resources for single moms. Good luck, again and stay strong.
