Yeah even im in the same situation, its been 2 months since we have been seperated and he still asks 4 another chance, you r right they think they can change, but they wont! Even i know he wont, he is abusive and so careless. Now hez trynna make my life all the more horrible being all the more abusive n sick, saying hez tired asking me to forgive him! I say you shud stick to what your mind n heary says. You r doing the right thing....

You are doing the right thing,just stand your ground.I have been there yes,and my daughter is going through the same thing now.Once an abuser,always an abuser.Things may seem ok for a couple weeks,when you start thinking maybe he has changed,then it just gets ugly all over again,putting you and your daughters in danger again.Depending on how old the children are,they will see in time what he's doing,and only for his sake,not theirs or yours.Just stay strong,you can do it,don't give in.My thoughts and prayers are with you
