Support

To all my friends here on HCW, I thank you so much for all of your help and support, and for all that I have learned.

I wanted to let you all know that right now I am making a hard dicision in my life to leave my Dh/BF. He has not taken the right steps in his life to improve our relationship and I am tired of warning him and threatening him that I am going to leave, and I think it is about time that I take the initiative to better my life and my son's. He is a great father, but I cannot then that stop me from bettering our lives. I go to school full time and work full time from home (both!), so right now I think it is the best time.
He thinks that I need him to survive, and I think it is about time for him to realize it is truly opposite of that. I sit here and take care of his kids, mind you. His three kids live with us full time, and I have raised them for the past three years like they were my own.
He keeps promising the divorce, and I am tired of empty promises.
In November we will have our 5 year anniversary, and lately it has been hitting me... FIVE YEARS... of empty promises.
He needs to make some changes for himself and start assuming some of the responsibilites that he thinks he is already doing, but in reality, it is I who takes care of everything.

But enough of my rambling... hopefully this will not affect any of my trades going on right now.
I will be spending the night at my mother's and tomorrow we will be looking at rooms to rent in my hometown. I know I have a lot of fellow HCWers there, compared to where I am now. I am not sure if I will let DH/BF know until after I have secured a place, or even if at all.
He is going to Nicaragua to visit his family in two weeks. That is the weekend I plan on getting my belongings out of here, and then letting him know when he is back.
I know I am making the right decision and hopefully most of you here will support me in this hard time, because I am going to have a lot of emotions.

Thank you.
