Divorce Support Forums: Here we go...

I initially posted in the "Preventing Divorce" forum, but have mustered up the courage to file for divorce. My husband should receive the papers today; he knows something is up because our one-year-old and I went to a friend's house yesterday (I was not sure when he would be served and my husband is bipolar and schizophrenic and has a tendency to be violent). I feel terrible, because I love him, but I love my son more, and my husband has just taken everything I have, emotionally and financially. I am so sorry to be here but am glad there is a community for those people unlucky enough to be going through a divorce. If you are looking through these forums I hope you find the strength you need to make the right decision for your situation.
