is it worth staying??

[confusedmoma]

I've been married for 3 years.
I just had a baby 4 months ago and I'm loving being a new mom! Being a mom for the first time has made me open my eyes to a lot of things,mainly my marriage.
I have been unhappy for quite some time but
have been in denial just so I can keep my marriage 'good'.

Every time I tell him I'm moving out he always pulls me back in,then the next day I'm wondering 'why am I still here??!'
He is abusive to me,verbally and some times physical.
He does not encourage me to do things,
instead I get put down.
He has two kids from a previous relationship, and I can't stand those kids!
I will not love them or even try to interact with them.
My husband knows this to. I'm very open about that.
But my point to this post is, is my relationship even worth putting effort to??
I just think We're still together because maybe its because we're 'use to being together'
And I don't think that will ever make me happy.
I want to leave but there is always something pulling me back.

You can't stand his children, he is abusive, you are unhappy....the list is endless.  

What in the world would keep "pulling YOU back" to this?

Why did you get pregnant with a man who has children you can't stand?

You've done this to yourself,  confused"moma".

  I forgot something, the "thing" thats holding you back is fear of the unknown, you will get over that and say "I don't know why I stayed so long now!" So get busy girl, put on your big girl panties and get your baby out of there, there is a happy life out there for you and your baby! Go luck! :)

  I don't know what it was like for you growing up but somewhere along the way you got some low self-esteem. You don't know that your better than that? You deserve better but now there is someone more important than you involved and that is your child! She needs and deserves a happy childhood so that she has a chance to have a good self-esteem. Once a man puts his hands on you, he will ALWAYS do it again and he will put hands on your child. Could you live like that? There isn't a choice here at all, you MUST leave him. It is a no-brainer, happy or sad. You could lose your child. You could lose your life. Throw this one back!

Physical abuse is a no-brainer!!  This is ALWAYS unacceptable!!
