I am just tired. Of living a lie. So how do I accept it and move on. Normally. Without having to screw everyone I know up..?

First, I don't know what lie you're living. Whatever it is,,is probably quite normal. Depending on what it is, you may just have to bite the bullet, tell all the people who might be affected by this that you aren't trying to turn their world upside down, but just to get yours right side up.
It isn't your responsibility to make everybody happy by being unhappy. The ones who matter will support you and help you through whatever difficulties you face. Those who won't, shouldn't matter.
Maybe you will never find normal, but you should be able to find happy.

The lie is being in a marriage I am not happy in at all.. I have tried to walk away several times but have failed. I can't keep lying to myself, but I don't want to destroy my child and husband anymore than I already have.. So do I stay and make everyone else happy? Or do I do what I want and hurt everyone I know?
What if I know for a fact I will not have anyone in my corner? Because that's how it has been. Christian orthodox doesn't bend very easily, not even for little old me. What if after all is said and done, I still haven't found my happy? What then?

I am so sorry. I do understand, though I can't relate. I wish there was a magic wand that could take you forward two years, after all the hullabaloo has died down, so you could see how it would all work out and make a decision based on that, but all you can do is make a choice.
Do you think your child and husband aren't being harmed by your daily unhappiness? Do you think they don't feel your discontent and feel to blame? Leaving may not be the answer, I don't know. But do you think staying without something done to change it is the right way?
