I am thinking that it's time to leave, and free my family from the burden of having to live with me.

I have been through a lot of therapy and treatment, and God knows I try, but I still can't stop every outburst of anger and frustration. I am not self-sufficient, and physically/intellectually disabled, and racked with pain, I know that I am neither fun nor stimulating company. I'm also a financial burden.

My husband is miserable, my child is miserable - and it's my fault. They didn't change, I did. The wife/mother they knew died in an MVA and they have been forced to care for an odious stranger, for eight years. They've done their best, but I can see that they just can't take it anymore.

My MVA wrecked my life, but I can't bear to see it ruin my family's lives, too. I think it's just selfish of me, not to stand aside, and let them get on with happier lives.
