Sharlee, I went through a very rough time with my marriage right after a year of cancer treatment for two cancers. We ended up staying together but it didn't look like we would for a while. However, I will say that my husband was never verbally abusive as yours is being. Staying with someone doing that to you is far more toxic to you than if he just walked right out the door and never came back, although you may not feel that way right now.

Although I know it feels unfair to confront illness and a marriage falling apart at the same time, you can do it. Poeple get through all sorts of things they never thought they could and this will just be one of them for you. but PLEASE do not let yourself put up with this verbal abuse for much longer. Lean on your friends and your relatives who are close by and can help care for your kids as much as you can and get yourself a good divorce lawyer right now.
