We were separated last summer for a couple of months...in which I lived with a friend (the only one with a house big enough) since my H pretty much refussed to let me get an apartment. We have been together for 4 1/2 yrs and married for 2. My H was extremely emotionally abusive to my children and I since early on in our relationship...nothing seemed to help. This is why the first separation occurred. My friends lifestyle is so different than mine, that it was nearly impossible for me to do any kind of healing. I moved back home a couple of months later...but since the purpose of the separtion had never been accomplished, another separation occurred a few months later.

I have 2 kids at home D15 and S17...they aren't my H kids.
I am 39 H is 45
