Okay I know this may sound crazy to some but I am really confused and need some advice. I am in a bad relationship we have 2 kids but we are not legally married. He does not love me and I do not love him but he still won't let me leave. I am scared to death of him! But all that aside I find myself daydreaming about what it would be like to be in a real marriage a happy one with a good man that truly loves me. Is it sinful to be having these daydreams or is it ok? Like I said I know it may seem a silly question for some but I would really like to know.

Look for the nearest battered women's organization, or Catholic family services. There are organizations out there, designed just for your situation, to help women make the transition toward safety. Even if a man is not physically violent, they (and women) can behave erratically in a way that their partners fear sabotage.

Even if you don't want counseling, you should hear from an expert what moves are safe to make and which aren't. If those are his children, he could claim kidnapping if you just moved out. Find out what your rights are.

If he inflicts physical damage, call the police immediately. Prep yourself to call, bc it might not make sense at the time. Start gathering all your back-up resources now, so you feel like you can run if you are endangered.

Father in Jesus name I ask that you would be with your daughter and
her children and I ask for Your protection over them.

Father I ask that You would come into this situation and give
your daughter wisdom and the strength to do what needs to be done
as You guide her and I ask that you would bring people into her
life to help her and direct her to any help she may need.

Father I ask that You would comfort Your daughter and her children
and make a way to turn around her situation and bring blessing into
her life.
In Jesus name I pray

May the supernatural peace of Jesus bring healing to your husband's feelings where the spiritual war of Satan's sin can keep silent-hidden violent feelings alive like a ticking time-bomb - a spiritual war that is far worse than a military war, and that has driven humankind for centuries to violence in the home apart from violence from terrorism since Jesus died on the cross and rose from death so that he could save us from the power of Satan's sin. Whenever we are in a crisis, Jesus is always prayed for miraculous supernatural peace in our hearts for all believers so that countries around the world can see the power of Christian peace, no matter what racial background. Because of the apple-biting broken promise of Adam and Eve, Satan is patting himself on the back for his spiritual invention called sin that can create greed, jealousy, selfishness and human authority through the power of our human voice where suffering of crime, war and poverty keeps knocking on our door to invite us in for a devastating experience - as if you are watching a violent movie and being trapped in that movie world at the same time: what I call a 4-D movie experience. The power of Christianity is amazing where Jesus is keeping our planet in one piece until his return sometime in the future, where God's most massive and most modern place of community: the Kingdom of God will hover down from the sky like one gigantic flying saucer on a new Earth that will replace this old global-warming-troubled planet, and where this whole new planet will be oceanless with God's streaming water of life in the middle of the street in God's kingdom that will nourish the fruit trees of eternal life, so that we can enjoy forever by worshipping together with Jesus with a life free of death and disease.:*:.Praise Jesus for his victorious and glorious kingdom of peace to keep us believers spiritually safe from Satan's faith-weakening power of sin.:*:.
