Hello.

My H and I have been officially separated for just over a month now. I keep trying to figure my sh!t out but these conflicting emotions are killing me. I have an almost 6 mo old son with him, and I just woke up one day realizing that he's not the person I thought he was when we started dating 8 years ago. We'll have been married 2 years in January. I think it's in my and Lucas (my DS) best interest to press for divorce. He doesn't take care of himself and his anger is way out of check (almost to the point where he wanted to hit our child for crying). He has no ambition, and if anything has held me back in what I wanted to do.

Anyways, I figured I'd just say hi and introduce myself. Single parenting is really tough, and I admire you gals who've been at it for so long now.

You are making the right decision. The best thing you could do is whatever is in the best interest of your child and yourself. I know the fear of your H possibly hurting your LO. My H threatened to kill both my son and I while we were still together and I never doubted him. Protecting your child always comes first. Best of luck to you. Single parenting is much easier doing alone than with someone who only drags you down.

Welcome! You are definitely doing the right thing. You have already taken the hardest step, which is deciding to leave and following through with it. Good luck!

PS your DS is sooo adorable.

Good decision, if you see his anger is out of control, he needs a break from being a family-man.  All pain is temporary, and within time you will be healed. You will now be able to focus on your baby, and your goals. Though it may be hard at times, you will look back and appreciate how strong you have become for you and Lucas!
