Ellie,

Just a question for you.

Yes saving a marriage is and always be the first and most favorable goal in everyone sitch.

However, where does one draw the line? You say that one should sacrafice their happiness to save a marriage. Did you really mean that? Just wanted to point out that kids are very perceptive. They know when you are not happy especially in abusive relationships. Now I am not one that believes in D unless it benifits yourself as well as the kids. My sitch is totally different than most if not all on the boards so I am not even talking about what I am doing or going threw.

I guess the real question, is how much does one take. It all comes down to detatching and finding happiness with in yourself not really sacraficeing your happiness for your kids to live in a bad enviornment. It is about making the best out of a bad sitch and trying to provide the love and warmth that the kids need. Of course this is all just my opinion and I am not trying to start anything, I am just trying to understand the statement.

Hopefully ya'll can see what I am trying to get at here. I am having a little bit of a hard time trying to put it down here.
