My husband verbally abuses me in front of our child, he is ADHD and does not understand why his emotions take over. He has broken so many things in our home out of anger, he can’t keep a job due to his ADHD and he’s bankrupting us as he does not understand how to stop spending – he has never hit and I know he will not hit. We are both in therapy but I just can’t see how I can continue with his emotional abuse. His family refuses to be supportive as they too don’t like his anger. He has a very wonderful heart for our child and friends and when his emotions have not taken over he really is a great guy. ADHD adults tend to never leave there adolesences, so its like living with two children all the time. I know if I leave he will cry and hound me to not leave him but I know its best for my daughter and I. The only thing holding me back is that he will have no one to go to, I’m his best friend. I feel like his big sister. I pray for guidance but still don’t know how to do this…… my sign is Cancer and that equals – sensitive and always there for everyone – its so hard to let ask him to leave our home.
Any thoughts….

Thank you to everyone who has replied so far. I’m glad I wrote to hear some outside advise. To those who mentioned my daughter is the one to think about – you are so right "she is the most important" and she will be the push that helps me to do end this. I don’t want her to live this way. I have great family support even when I asked him to leave 3 yrs ago. Thanks again!!
