The, 'God loves him so I must too' and 'there will be a miracle' thinking is so common among repeatedly abused women. I beleive it is even more common among addictive personalities in abusive situations.

I think you mentioned being an alcoholic at one point. If so, perhaps an AA group would be helpful to you. They could help you decide what actiom to take.

It seems that you need to do something farily quickly. If not, he may take the action and you could be on the street with a 3 yr. old. You have such a great responsibility and it doesn't sound as if you can trust his promises to you or your granddaughter.

Of course I am not there and can't know the whole story. I'm sure you are in prayer and with the help of God, you can make a wise decision for yourself and your grand child.
