Decision Time

CJ38's picture

I have made the decision to leave with my son. My husband has continued to be highly abusive towards me, and only wants SS. I tried the last time today to propose moving away, and coming back twice a month to visit SS. He refused. Instead he wants to stay here, sell the house, talk incesantly about my SS and how to save him. Not focusing at all on his other birth son, and abusing me all the time. He also wants to put us in complete financial ruin. On top of that DCFS found nothing conclusive to my SS abuse, so now my husband is willing to leave my son alone with SS and will thwart my trying to keep them apart, because it will hurt the SS feelings. Amazing to find out that instead of being married to me, that my husband is married to his first birth son, and also that he cares only for him, so much so that he is willing to put his youngest son in the worst danger of his life, in a place where he can lose his purity, like my SS has lost his. Nothing like sending a lamb to the slaughter, not on my watch, not my son. Anyone have any ideas on how I can earn money at home while he is working, without him knowing? Sad

If it's a situation where you fear for your safety or that of your son, don't worry about money. Get out. Get welfare for a few months until you can get on your feet.
If you have concerns about your son's safety with your SS, don't put it off. There was just a funeral around here for my neighbor's 16month old nephew. His mother's bf killed him. She never asked for help, didn't try to get out. If it's a serious concern for you, just get out.

I am sorry for your situation. This has to be difficult on both you and DH. I am sure he loves both his children. It would be very hard to have to "choose" one or the other. I am sure he feels his son is being attacked and maybe he blames himself for his behavior. It sounds like a difficult situation. If abuse is going on I would get out. I wish you the best and God bless.
