Hi TAL,
I stopped by your thread cause your name is how I feel.

In reading your last post;
"I think to myself, what the heck am I doing, how did i get to this place in my life. This man has hurt me so much, and continues to be a jerk and Im still here. Im trapped, what can I do? I have two beautiful children that I would do anything for, including keeping our family intact. But at what cost? this man does not love me. He says he does when the moment is right, but he has no regard for my feelings at all."

I unfortunately feel the same except that I have three children...and am trying to hold on to the M for them. See my thread in Thinking of Leaving, I quoted something called "letting go", this may helf you. Mama
