What a mess, but I just need to step back and breathe (thanks jak, so true). I can do this.
lwb- You are right, as jak said, you can do this.
Getting past the hurt is hard and I'm still working on that, but I see things that I no longer want to live with. Realizing that my H has always had a lot more anger than I can live with. He can fly off the handle at a moments notice. I don't want to live with that anymore. I don't want D3 to grow up with that. I don't want to worry if I'll set him off even more. Just a lot of things. I am very, very hurt, but I'm getting a lot closer to being ready to say good-bye and as you said, let the rope drop. At least I think I'm using that analogy in the same manner.
Have a good night lwb and thanks for offering to care for me while sick! You're an absolutely amazing woman.
