For all of u out there staying in your marriage because of the kids thinking it's the best thing let me share some insight. I married young at 19 and have been married for over 26 years. I have 3 children 26 , 24, 18. My 26 y/o is Autistic. In the beginning years of my marriage I was not treated well belittle by my husband who cheated on me he had a terrible temper getting angry at every little thing and would punch holes in walls . I wanted to leave the marriage several times but didn't .I moved every 3 years for over 20 yrs never having much support from my family. 12 yrs into the marriage I gained some confidence went back to college got my nursing degree and had every intention of leaving him when I graduated . I did not thought it was best to remain together bc of the kids. Continued to put up with his temper, his continued selfishness and finding a few emails he sent out to a old girlfriend . I learned how to make excuses regarding his behavior t o others . We had a few good years over the 26 yrs. Last week my 18 y/o son came home from college overnight and basically had a long talk with my husband and I . Most of it directed towards his father and his behavior over the years and how it has affected him. It gave me validation of my husbands behavior but it has really torn me apart because while I thought staying with him all these years was the best thing because of my kids I am now realizing that it wasn't.
Put the internet to work for you.
