Yes, she's the bitch from hell. She's always been the bitch from hell and you chose to have kids with her. Don't you dare slink off now and leave those children with this horrible woman. Believe me, you divorce her and it's open season on you from now on. She will marry someone who treats your kids the way she's treated your son. How can you stop this from happening? by not divorcing her.
Who do you think you're fooling with this "drawing a line in the sand" bullshit? You're not ready to fight. You're ready to quit.
I love me these GigaPosts.
You need to step up for those kids. Its what we are all saying.
Find a way to make it work. That's what the vow means. Go to counselling, stand up to her, let her know you are committed to your family. I think you might be surprised what a solid "We are a family, we are staying married but I am not taking this treatment anymore. We will work together to make things better." It might even be what she has been waiting for. THAT'S how you draw a line in the sand.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
