[quote=Anonymous]NP here: serious question, as I am in a similar bit worse situation with my DH...everyone seems to think it is so obvious to leave him.  I WANT to leave him.  But how in warmth can I leave a small child with him 50% of the time????  Right now, when my DH’s moods are so bad, I can take my son out for day trip on the weekend, or bring him to snuggle and read books early to get away.  He is never alone with his dad’s rage.

But I remember being terrified of my mom’s rage, and so alone, and so unprotected.  I take ALL the blame for choosing terribly in a partner who turned out to be like this...it is a complete bait and switch from our dating lives, but I can see red flags I chose to ignore now.  So I own my bad decision of marrying and getting pregnant with someone who is unstable and angry.  But how do I mitigate the damage now?  I have stayed this far because I did not want to leave a defenseless little child with him and these moods.  One side of me says get out and at least he knows he can be safe and have peace and stability at my house half of the time.  But I have stayed this long because that seems just wayyyyy too dangerous.  [/quote]
