I am so sad for you -- your story makes me want to cry. You are so right that when you are so compromised, and can't take care of yourself, let alone your kids and those you love, you have to make a change. It's about survival. And your kids' survival -- they need a healthy, happy mom.
What are you going to do? Are you going to continue waiting it out, however long your husband lives? What if he hangs on for several more months, or another year? Are you going to continue sacrificing yourself and your kids to care for him? You can still help make happy memories with your sons and their father and yet not be married to him and have to be sucked into the miserable world that he's got you in. It's not just you, it's the example you're leading for your boys. You don't want them to think that their dad's behavior is acceptable.
