We’ve been having issues since we got pregnant.

Finally just can’t take it anymore... so many little... and big... things stacking up.

Biggest issues: he refuses to help himself, does bare minimum to help me with our son, constantly angry negative & complaining, misogynist tendencies I don’t want my son to pick up, is in total control of money and makes me feel bad for NEEDING things.

Anyway, I want to leave but I don’t know how to tell him.

He knows we’re having problems but I think is in denial.

Also, he attempted suicide two months ago in front of me and his son after a big fight and I’m terrified he will try again if I tell him I want to leave.

I’m also a tiny bit worried he might try to hurt me and his son? I don’t know if I’m being irrational or what but when he’s depressed he acts really unstable. He’s never hurt us or implied that he would before.

I’m a SAHM and only have $500 in savings.

I have a really supportive family who will help me but they all live far away.

How should I bring it up?

How should I try to leave?

I kind of want to tell him and have my family here to come get me and my son so we can go right away and not have to stay with him after I’ve told him but I also don’t want to blind side him and make him feel like my family and I are hanging up on him or taking his son away from him.

Please, I need advice!

I really can’t be with him anymore.

I’m miserable and I need to be happy and healthy so my son doesn’t suffer.
