I will say, that it has been almost 8 years and it was the best decision I have ever made but it did take me 10 years before I took action.
Best wishes to you, Fishlet

Make a plan. If at all possible, ensure that you have a support system. Set your plan into place and stick to your plan no matter what. It can take a while but it is worth it.
Also be prepared to hear a lot of horrible words and accusations.
Best Wishes.

I think you REALLY need to get some help and support and not try and deal with this alone..Please don`t do anything rash that potentially puts you and your kids safety at risk...It`s not easy..and it`s going to have a devastating effect on lives if it`s not handled with a lot of care...I think you already sound well out of your depth...but with help you can mend the situation...or leave without a mass fallout!...PLENTY of People out there to help you..friends?Family..marriage guidance domestic violence trained people(If that`s an issue)...Take some deep breaths and plan who is best to help you!
VERY GOOD LUCK! xx

Vicky, without knowing WHAT is causing the unhappiness in your marriage, this is an impossible question to answer. Is he verbally abusive, physically abusive, cheating on you, ignoring you? Do you have a close friend that can help you or at least support you during this time? Have you been to a lawyer? Have you gone for counselling? Do you have access to money? These are just some of the issues that come to my mind, without knowing details.

Sounds like you've already made up your mind to leave...you do not need his permission to leave...get a lawyer and get a support group or join one (there are many groups available)..start with the Salvation Army or similar group, source your local community services...talk with friends and/or someone at your church. Talking with a lawyer will help you see the steps you must take...do not be overwhelmed by this. Get yourself lined up with a safe place to be. I wish you strength and Peace.
