severe stress and pregnancy..

My question is kind of personal usually don't like throwing relationship problems out there but feel like i have no where else to turn.. my fiance and i have our fair share of problems but its getting out of control he's very verbally abusive and i'm at my breaking point. i have decided to leave him but have to wait until friday when i get paid so i have some stability for my kids and i. he's put me down so much lately i feel i can't get back up. i've been crying for 6 hours now and can't stop. my kids are visiting there grandparents til monday. i guess i'm wondering how to deal and how i'm effecting my son since i'm 25 weeks pregnant. i feel like i need SOMETHING to snap me out of this.. i just hate it it makes me feel like a failure to myself and kids and my unborn child.. any advice would be great..

Your kids and the one you are carrying all the "pick-me-up" you need to get yourself out of that situation. How would you feel if someone were treating them the way you are being treated?  The longer they are around this type of behavior the more problems it is going to cause them later in life.  When you need strength look and them and remind yourself what kind of lives you want for THEM and that right now they are learning that the opposite is what they deserve.  What they see happen to Mama is what they base their future relationships on.

You won't be the first woman to walk out of a bad relationship when pregnant, it happens, and usually the woman thrives.  Even taking care of kids and working, it's more energetic than having a man draining you all the time.  Good luck, go happily.

Sweetheart,
I am sorry that you endured this! I think based on your situation your doing the right thing! I was in a terrible abusive relationship aswell whilst I was preggers with my second child with my ex. I can't say any amount of stress is good for you, your children and your unborn child. Your not a failure, dont ever think of it that way! Your doing whats best for you and your babies....hats off to you, alot of women would stay.
As I did for many years....Hold your head up high girl!
Hugs
