[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I am also rooting for both you and your baby OP. ^^

Not an easy decision, but it sounds like your current living situation is not sustainable long-term. 🥺[/quote]

No one can know what happens inside a marriage, but be honest with yourself and seek professional support. You’ve got more power than you think! I am also rooting for you and sending good luck.

Build supports so you can be the best parent to your child. Identify help through therapists, lawyers, support groups, friends and family - and trust your instinct. Leaving earlier could have benefits and you both could be safer than if you stay. A close friend from a group in college was in an unhealthy marriage; the group saw signs and raised concerns, but friend didn’t and slowly stopped engaging and then refused contact with us. When the friend realized she needed a change, she reached back out to the college group.

Husband grew suspect and more controlling. He was also threatening and violent to the Mom. He started lying to family, including their kids (8-12). Dad told their kids Mom wasn’t to be trusted and “was just trying to tear the family apart.” To preserve herself, friend left and kids refused to join her. Five years later, friend has rebuilt her life; it breaks her heart to live without her kids, but she’s  hopeful the kids will mature and see the dynamic.
