Now, my question for those of you out there~ do I stay and DB or do I contact a lawyer to file? Not really asking for THE answer, just your thoughts and some of your experiences. I want to do what is ultimately best for me and my boys.
You have to answer that, but I will say that going through D is one of the toughest, most stressful experiences. I think you have to be 100% convinced that's your only option if you want to take that route...
I do think even if you live with someone that has abusive tendencies I believe it may be possible to improve the sitch. By being strong, setting up and maintaining boundaries, etc. I don't know if that is your case or not. And at some point, you do have to consider your emotional and mental health.
