  You are right! You are right! This is so big for me to see that I can dance in any direction and he won't change. You are right. I have tp protect myself. I have seen horror stories and good stories,but there is nothing that an N likes more than a good fight--bleh.
  Lighter-----I just woke up.                            Thank you                     Ami

I got this from Lighter:

When the pain of staying is greater than the pain of leaving you will be ready to leave.

If you think that your children are going to be thankful to you because you stayed you are mistaken.

Are you afraid to comfront the world on your own? Do you alwyas have to have a bigger dog by your side?

I am sorry if I am making you feel bad. Those are my thoughts. I needed to get it out of my chest. I know that I am nobody to tell you when I have been abused all my life, begging for love, clinging to people, feeling rejected, thinking why my friend frowned, why did he move his finger, is he or she feeling uncomfrotable because of me, nobody likes me, and that is true, nobody likes me for X or Y or my personality and negativity like observer was saying, nobody likes me.

So, who am I to tell you that your children are going to resent you in the future becasue you did nit stand up for your self.

I submited my son to six years of abuse, my ex was abusive to him and I was there, I regreted not to leave early, but I was not ready, I have to be very very very badly mistreated to leave, dont have boundaries, did not know thwy existed. My son cried so much when we fought, and since my society said that children are better with father, rather than with out father, I was so wrong.

do not subject your children to the same i did with my son. Good that I left after six years, but he suffered for six years when he did not have to suffer at all.

OK I have the need to insult my self so I feel that I can tell you my thoughts. See? I am so f**ed up that I am afraid that you are going to get mad at me if I tell you what I think so I first have to say something bad about me.

YOu have a masters degree you can teach in a college you can apy your bills, you can make good moeny. You can be your own big dog.

Look who is talking.  :(   :?

Human nature is so constituted that it cannot honor a helpless man,although it can pity him.
And even this it cannot do long if signs of power do not arise.

I copied this from you.

This is why we are not respected. We do not show power. And they do not even pity us many times.

Since you have a two year old you must be young. You must not be a menopausic b*tch like me. We are so much alike though. EDD i guess.

Ami-

I just read this thread. I am sick with worry - if what you alluded to on the part of your husband is simply tension discord as they occassionally afflict any two people when they are in close quarters, then I know that you will deal with it properly and wisely. If however, you are experiencing fear and a lack of safety in your own home, that is an entirely different matter. All states recognize a Right to Habitation Defense- a basic right to defend one's home and safe haven. You need not give up this right for your husband, in fact he should be the most adamant about you being secure in your home.

As to money, etc- take a course in personal finance- don't announce it as an act of war, but only as a way to be an even better wife. Get a Sears Master Card in your own name (not just the store card) - pay it off evry month faithfully, avoiding finance charges. And study the laws of marriage and divorce in your state ( again don't announce this to your husband or to anyone who knows him, including Maria) Put aside some money every week, and amass a good chunk of cheddar- it will be a source of a war chest or some comfort just to know that it is there.

You are smart and Godly, and I know that you wil be able to see what is right to do, but remember to "Study to show thyself approved..." become informed and ready for anything , as much as possible. If your H is just cranky  and unfair, then you might let him think about it, you can find a way to address it and he will see the error of his ways (he seems willing to take steps to do what is right, but only you know if this is so). However if he is making you unsafe in your home, then you deserve to do whatever it takes to become safe and secure.

Please know that I care about you very much, and know that only you and God can see what is best for you.

Love and Happy Thanksgiving From Your Friend,

Changing
