I for one, really admire the Hispanic culture they seem immune to not being able to figure out a way and I think it relates to their close knit family stucture. It's in their culture to stick together.

I knew it was time when the insults, the lack of respect, the physical, mental and emotional abuse, the provocations, the belittling, the conceit, the arguments, the threats .... were getting worse and happened more often.

Now that I have been separated for 2 years and divorced for 2 years, I regret not to have done it earlier, for the children's sake and mine. I was fortunate to work then, so I filled up the divorce papers. We sold the house and each went our way. For four years now, there is nothing but peace and joy in my house and my kids are so glad we left their father.

The Lord is great and greatly to be praised!

Thank you.

Resting is hard. My DH is in rehab until the end of May. That gives me some time to rest from his disease. Now I'm working to rebalance/refocus my life. I started working full-time just a few months ago so that's been a crazy adjustment. Now I've got after-school sports and travel for work...you all know the drill. Balance. Trying to take better care of myself spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

Been there, done that. Played the corporate wife, moved from place to place, stayed at home with the kids, ran the house so he had no worries at home.

I left when I felt I could no longer keep the children safe from him.
