ive been with the hubby for the past 17 years, nd i have had it all from him, sexually ,emotionally nd physically abused Recently he had been taken to jail for physical abuse, i have 5 kids with him, with a 2month the youngest nd 15 year old the oldest, .My parents tell me to end this relationship, but im undecided because i dont want to see my kids struggle from house to house, struggling with money as i dont have a job, nd emotionally i dont feel ready because i might fail even more outside alone with the kids, as i dont have a good job nd a place to take them. as for him, i know he would come back nd work things out, knowing him he wont let go of me nd his kids..i have to admit even he has put me through this, i still feel the need to have him in my life, is this normal? i feel i want a life without him, but of course with a good job, a good place for my kids, where i am financially good but meantime i feel i cant proceed without these , (work, money, home)
