My life is over isn't it?

It's over if you give up on it. You owe it to yourself and your children to get out of that relationship. C'mon, you most likely live in a country where almost anything is possible. You have to demand respect. Don't blame it on the double standard because there are plenty of men that aren't like that. You have to give yourself more credit because you're stronger than you think you are. You DON'T want to live in despair until you die because you would've wasted your live without having to. I have no clue what kind of situation you're in but I do believe that you are as strong as anyone else. Don't give up because it will hurt your children the most.
