Separated and Stuck?

[eternaloptimist]

Thanks, Phoenixdeux. I appreciate your comments and insights. I've asked myself many of the same questions you posed...why on Earth would I want H back when he treated me so poorly? Why have I tolerated being treated with such contempt? I guess it is b/c I thought H was depressed and why would I leave someone who has a mental illness? Now that I know he has a personality disorder, I still feel the same way.

I've got to just do what everyone here recommends, make changes for myself and my son no matter what happens. Thanks again for your support and thoughts.
