How Can I Go?

I'm so sad. I recently discovered for the hundredth time in 10 years (5 actually married) that my husband has relationships with other women. I've known he has had many attempts of starting relationship w/ other women, but today I found solid proof. I contest that he is simply using these women to make up for my lack of income to support our family.
I guess I had been ignoring clear signs that he has been unfaithful many times. He blocked privacy on Facebook, constantly changes his phone passwords, Has pictures of him hugging other women on night on the towns, profile on "Booty Call. com", and most recently text from women asking him to hang out and vise versa.
I should have left years ago, but my pride made me stay. I did not want to admit this man is abusing me and emotionally unavaible like my father. I feel like I can not tell anyone. No family members, or friends. I feel they give bias opinions anyways.
I am a housewife. He is a salesman with no steady income. I have willing participated in destroying my credit with him over the past years and I have no skills.To make matters worse I have 3 kids, 2 under the age of two. I am trapped!

Re: How Can I Go?

There are many resources for women in your situation. There are also a huge amount of women in your situation..it is never too late to take action and get help. Contact a social worker at a hospital, mental health clinic, women's shelter, etc.....

Don't sit around and suffer. is there anyone you can trust with your story?

Re: How Can I Go?

Trust, faith, this is how you can go. He depends on your being "stuck". I have been stuck for 20 years!! It was one thing or another that kept me from going. Lately I've stopped going through the "what ifs". I just do. If the main thing that's holding me back is fear, I just go for it and let the hands of fate decide for me! I don't have any friends/family that can support me either. My family is actually quite hurtful about it, very passive aggressive. But this site helps a lot so you can have support here. Keep calm. Do some homework. Take Allison's advice and look for places that can help you. You absolutely can be free, and you 100% don't have to or deserve to live that way! You take care of yourself and your babies. You DO have skills, you just don't know what they are yet. My favorite Henry Ford quote: "Whether You Believe You Can, Or You Can't, You Are Right"
