[quote=Anonymous]It’s not only anger management he needs.  Abusive men are inherently entitled and so respectful of women and those are the issues they need to fix.
I recommend reading the Lundy Bancroft book “why does he do that?” For some perspective.  He has another book for those debating whether to stay or go.  Can’t recall title.

I left a verbally and emotionally abusive marriage to an addict.  Even with all of that dysfunction, the decision was agonizing.

I don’t regret leaving but I will say that divorce with kids is so much harder and more painful than I ever imagined.  Divorcing an abuser makes it worse.  The trauma bond is no joke and tough to sever.

I know I made the right decision in that my day to day life is so much more peaceful and I am in a (for first time ever) healthy romantic relationship.  But being tied to this person by children for the rest of my life is one of the circles or hell. And then when they bring a new woman into the mix.  This is why I envy widows.

This was a long winded way of saying you’re going to be choosing the lesser of the evils.  Good luck my friend.  I am sorry you are in this position.[/quote]
