Number5,
It sounds as if the abuse in your marriage is becoming increasingly violent. I hope you are making provisions to protect yourself as you may be in danger.

Please don't be concerned that we will think you a "wimp." Facing a failed marriage is so difficult. It's a time when believing in miracles is easier than facing fact. But the fact is you must protect yourself and your family.

Writing your experiences down and posting them on here is a huge first step. And it sounds as if you are already becoming emotionally stronger. We will be here to listen and support no matter what decision you make.

Your survival should be your most important consideration at this point, but perhaps you should consult an attorney to help you develop exit strategies.

You and your family will be in my prayers today.
