When we are in turmoil it can feel like we've lost our way. We often stay in these toxic relationships b/c we think it'll get better, we can adapt to end the craziness, and 'be more understanding'. If you have children with this man, he's even more poisonous to them b/c they are learning how to behave by listening to him and watching how he treats you. As a Mom, you have the chance to make a change and give them a life free of this manipulation and abuse. It's normal to grieve the loss of a relationship, and your sadness is understandable but this is not a healthy and loving relationship - it's a pattern and it's dangerous and it's destructive. No one ever deserves to be treated like that. I'm sorry this is so hard for you but the sooner you move on, the sooner you will heal. Contact a therapist, social services, and legal help and get going. You will be ok, we are all here with you. Hugs.
