[quote=Anonymous]I separated in house when the baby was 6 months. Moved out a year later after failed counseling attempts, etc. Haven’t looked back,my daughter has spent more of her life with me as a single mom (he chose to cut and run once he realized I wasn’t coming back) than as a baby with two married parents. Honestly part of what prompted me to leave soon was because I knew she would be too young to remember much, and I realized we would never last with the traits we had tough moments! None bad enough to make me go back. When you are leaving abuse, the bright side is there is no where to go but up. Most of my friends have no idea how abusive he was. I still don’t talk much about it. Get a separation agreement in place. When you leave the and the power dynamic changes, prepare for an emotional explosion. Try to mitigate that risk as best you can. Get a good support system in place for you as an individual (sitter, therapist, playgroups, online groups, we ) because that will help during moments of isolation and co-parenting. [/quote]
