Thank you Pat for responding. I am thinking about leaving my spouse and inspite of our current situation, this is so difficult. I can still remember the man I married - my friends used to say I smiled everytime I mentioned his name. He was so thoughtful, so romantic. But that man is long gone and I need to think about the future. And right now the future is a little frightening. I'm afraid because I don't know how a divorce would impact my son and his relationship with his dad. My husband would no doubt blame me for everything - although my son would know better. We would probably have to leave the family home because my husband would claim he's in no condition to "start over". So what if we do leave and I can't find a comparable neighborhood or suitable playmates for my son? I don' know what to do. When I got married, I thought it would be forever - my parents divorced after 32 years of marriage and they were lost without each other. I need to make a decision, but I can't.
