[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. Are major depressive issues just another luxury that the rich get to experience? I am in an abusive relationship, with three children all with the same mental health challenges that my DH has. Life is very, very difficult. Life is miserable. I’m abused on a daily basis, always verbally, sometimes physically.

It would be such a relief to actually get some relief from the abuse and go to therapy to deal with my feelings surrounding the trauma. An inpatient stay at a psych ward sounds lovely, like a five star vacation. But I don’t have the luxury to do that, because if I left my family, then everything would fall apart because of my unstable the DH.

How “lucky” to be both majorly depressed, but also have people around you clamoring to help, and a place to go to have a retreat. I mean, I understand it is a chemical disorder, but not everyone is able to walk away from their daily life and responsibilities at the drop of a hat.[/quote]

Same here but I am coming around to making peace with a divorce and mentally disordered spouse can have the kids anytime he wants up to 50%. He won’t know what to do so may not legally or in practice want that much time or responsibility. He certainly hasn’t cared for them anything close to it.

As for the kids, they will have to make their appointments and do their school work the best they can. A peaceful house 50-90% of the time without him in it will be vastly better than what they are seeing and going through now. It won’t be easy for you but it will be easier than current situation.

Me too. Man up PP and leave your husband.

You want us all to pity you but you’re not doing anything proactive. You think your kids living in a home with physical abuse is BETTER for them? It isn’t. So get smart. If he hits you call the police. He will NOT get 50/50. I know, because I escaped an abuser and got my three kids out with me. After being a sahm for over a decade I outearn him and have 80% custody. The 20% gives me a break and my kids are teens now so it gives them a chance to know their father without him hurting them.

Man up, mama. You can do it. [/quote]
