Question
Hie

i am a young woman turning 30 in the coming year.

i have been married for 8 years but have known this man for 11 years.
We started on a wrong note because he was my first boyfriend and broke my virginity and i thought because of that he had to be my husband.
i can admit i pressed him to marry me and he did, though the relationship was physically abusive for the first 3 years it all turned to being nice and rosy when i threatened to leave in the fourth year.Since then he was very fine and i mean real fine and i gave him all my heart and commitment to the best of my ability until September this year when i saw an email to his friend telling him that he was sleeping with this other lady but couldn't ejaculate.i got so disappointed but couldn't do anything because i have 2 beautiful kids who are 7 and 2 years and i don't have a stable job because i was just having kids and not concentrating on my career.
i confronted him and he said he was stressed at work thats why he did it but i can recall he never said sorry or any apology.this makes me wonder this will not happen again like he is making me feel by saying lets work things out.
i really would have left him but i am financially dependent on him.I dont have anymore feelings of love for him, i dont trust him anymore and he is not making anything better because he still goes out after work to drink in pubs and he gets calls from a pub owner, a lady. if he doesnt pitch up to drink.I dont think he cares also anymore.Rather than being with me and the kids this holiday he has decided to go back to our home country for the holiday and will only be back early January and i have been left home with the kids in a foreign country where we moved to because of his job.i dont have friends here and i my parents are also in my home country.He is moody and since  he left has been smsing message to show that he is suspicious about me alone here just to make me feel bad.I hate this and hate him more for controlling me like this.Please help me.

Answer
You give another person power over you all in the name of sacrifice.
What role model do you have for your children, that you cannot make it, that you will always be a victim, that you cannot make something of your life?
Taking steps to breaking the cycle is difficult when you do not believe in yourself, it is important that you think of your children's future and what you want to teach them about themselves and their mother.
There is help for you, many agency can and will be able to reach out to help you move and start a new life for you and your children.
Have a plan, call for help to agencies for abusive women.
Break the pattern and help women all over the world by taking a stand for womanhood, for mothers.
