I am married to a control freak. He lies and he makes up stories to get people to see his way. I have never been on my own. I want to leave so bad. I have a job and can support myself, however, I don't want my kids to suffer growing up in a broken home. What should I do?

I'm so sorry to hear about this! I went through something with an ex, before having kids. I'd lay there at night crying, feeling helpless and thinking that there wasn't a way out. It took me a long time to realise that I wasn't trapped and that I should have never felt obliged to stay in a relationship. Obviously with children, it's a lot harder and I understand your worry about a broken home, but at the end of the day, if you are not happy, then it won't be a "happy home" for you or your kids. I come from a "broken home" and I've always known that my parents made the right decision to split. This is something that you need to discuss with your husband, he needs to know how you feel!
