[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married 13 years, two kids, 2 and 4. I had a hard time adjusting to marriage, now I'm having a hard time adjusting to job loss and becoming a SAHM. I am severely depressed over losing my job and on meds/in therapy. I'm trying, but I'm a failure as a wife and mother.

Husband has been emotionally abusive since the honeymoon. I won't give examples, only will say it took me a long time to accept it.

It's unlikely I'll find another job right now, and DH has threatened to ask for full custody if I leave. Mentally ill, unemployed mother - yeah, he'll get it.

Would you stay? I'll never see the kids again if I leave, but I'm at the end of my rope. [/quote]

You aren't the failure HE is the failure. Start picking yourself up little by little. Get a new job and plan all the steps necessary to get away from him. When someone is nasty to you day in and day out you start to believe it. Get some therapy to understand why you stay with this guy. He even has you convinced he'll get custody - you must know that's not true. Get yourself in a good place starting right away.[/quote]
