[quote=Anonymous]I divorced a bad man at 42 (filed when I was 40 and it took a hellish 2 years to finalize). I will never be completely "free" of him and his abusive ways though because of our DC. I had DC at 39. Co-parenting is a total nightmare and I feel terrible that DC has a crap father. Being a parent/raising a child in this type of situation is awful and something I never imagined for my or my future child(ren)'s life when I was younger.

OP, I know it is very hard to see the upside to your situation right now, but TRUST ME, down the road you will be thankful you did not have children with him. You can make a total, clean break and move forward with healing. Divorce is so incredibly hard in any situation, my heart goes out to you OP, but the good thing is that you will not be tied to your toxic exH forever through children.

If you don't already have one, find a good therapist and start your healing journey. You have your whole life ahead of you at 35 and so many possibilities! You don't believe this now, but give it time. Give yourself time and space to grieve, but don't lose hope.

Sending you a lot of love and hugs.
