Contemplating Divorce

[TLW]

Alabama

I have been married for 7 years, and have 2 wonderful daughters. The problem is it has been more of an unhappy marriage more than happy. We have just moved to al from Colorado, which is where he was from. I am from Al. Since we have been here I have been working, and he worked for 3 months and got fired. He refuses to look for a job, he yells at our girls, and me constantly. He sleeps all the time. He gets up and announces he is going out, and doesn't come back for hours. Right now we are staying with my brother, because we had planned on buildin a house, but now I don't know if we should. He has had depression problems for a while, and was in therapy in Co. We thought the change out here would help, but it hasn't. For the first time ever, the other day, he threw a sealed envelope at me and cut my face. While I was holding our 2 year old. What should I do??????????????????

My response:

The reality is this - - while the situation sounds bad from a reading of your post, the fact of the matter is, we can't tell you how to conduct your life, or to tell you to make a life-changing decision. That's between you, your husband, and perhaps a friend, a psychiatrist, or someone else.

When, and if you've made a decision, then perhaps we can answer a specific question for you.

Good luck on whatever decision you make, if you make a decision at all.
