Thanks for the replies.
She hasn't got out of the relationship because she doesn't want to be the one that breaks up the relationship. She wishes husband would either die or meet someone else so he would leave her.
She doesn't want to be the one to hurt the children- would feel guilty. Wants to avoid blame.
She feels 'like a trapped butterfly' and experiences emptiness, blackness, slows down, feels weepy and 'heavy'
She talks of'plummetting down''going under'
'going downhill' 'hitting rock bottom' 'head in the sand''want to escape' 'want to hide'
'can't face it' 'feel a wreck'
