When knowing when to walk away

I have been married to the same man for 11 years. Over the years there has been numerous of infeldelities, whether they were physical or emotional. We have two children, on of which is a considered special needs. When we split over 5 years ago for 8 months, he barely saw the kids and our special needs son had a mental breakdown because of this. Last Aug through to Dec I found out there were two different women who he gave the sob story about poor him and he also wanted to end it. We were living separte lives separate bedrooms. He was so angry, but our son begged me to convince him to stay. Now June his pattern of behaviour has repeated along with the anger, and the son again begging me not to give up on him. The man who I married doesn't exist anymore, both the kids and I deserve a loving stability, but a part of me doesn't want to leave because of the children.

It is hard on you as well as the children. Although your child wants his father in his life as it should be you are hurting him not helping him by living this way. You have been split up and then you have shared a home and had different bedrooms. You should explain to your son that you know how he feels and reasure him that even though daddy is having to move that that you will let him visit him often. I would then talk to your husband and ask him if he could come by often after you two split for the reassurance of your sons benifit as a father he should want to do that. Then I would get him into some counciling to help him adjust,it may take a little time but with time love and patience and councling he will be much better. if you prolong this it will just get harder and he will find it harder to deal with. You also need to be happy and your other child. You should not have to live with a man that is cheating on you.
