Please believe that I wasn't trying to judge you on this, sorry if I came across that way. Put in the same position, with how much I love my husband, I don't know that I could leave him either.
I'm very sure that my mom stayed with my dad out of love, she always said he was the only man she ever loved and I believe she still is in love with him and they are both in their 60's now. Although she and I have not discussed it, I know she feels guilty for keeping us there so long so I never ask her about it. She was a fantastic mother and I believe she did the best she could with what she had to work with. I have a feeling that is your case also, that you are doing your best. And your boys know that. Take care Mandi.
