: : 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.

: All respect to you.... if you stayed in that marrage and stayed unhappy your kids would have been unhappy to. i think you did the right thing! seems you have really supportive parents too so stay there till you find your feet.
: i wish you the best of luck for the future.
: and one day you might meet mr perfect who will love you love your kids & respect you.
: your life has not gonna end cos you ended your marrage go out have some fun and stop feeling guilty. suppose your daughter gets married one day has kids but is sooo unhappy with her husband...... if u stayed married to him, your daughter would do the same, now that you left you showed your daughter how to be a strong woman... see where im coming from? lol
: anyway best of luck
: Lisa

Thank you for your encouraging words.
