How did you know it was time to end it?

I’m in a marriage where I can’t win. My feelings will never be valid, my opinions will always be wrong, I wasn’t approved of from day one and I thought my husband going through with marrying me anyways was him sticking up for me and for us. But he knows his mother doesn’t like me, will never like me, and has no reason to because he doesn’t even really like me. I’m tired of trying to advocate for myself. I’m tired of trying to stand up for myself and being ostracized over it. I’m tired of trying to talk to my husband and just being ignored. Her feelings will always be more important than mine, it’s been made more than clear.

I’m just fucking exhausted. Like to my core tired. I’m alone. I’m drowning. I just want to be a good mother to my son and I’m scared that this whole situation is going to turn me into a monster.
