I so much apprieciate the replies that have been given. I feel over the years things have progressed, to a point now that I dont think I can take it anymore.

Also the replies from children of parents with a realationship like this...THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have let him be emotionally abusive to them as well, he gets rough at times, but has never hit them. However I see the way he grabs them, yells at them, and the fury in his eyes. I have tried to keep the fighting from them, but they have seen it to many times to count. I was afraid by failing at a marriage it would damage them, but afraid thgey would learn from him to. I have 6 children, 2 boys and 4 girls. I was worried about the boys, but forgot to consider that I am an example to my daughters as well.

I hope for their sake I am couragous enough to make the right decison. Thanks for the advice, much appriecated
