Glad to hear you have somebody to confide in Seraph anon, but man... What a horrible situation.
>the kids blaming me
I’m not sure how old your children are, and Im not sure if it’s of any comfort or use that I write this, so apologies in advance if it isnt:
Anecdotally speaking many of my childhood friends had parents who split over similar things. everything from spousal violence, alcoholics, to plain old bad people.
Most of the friends I had ended up taking the side of the parent who left over the other parent. (Thinking about it… It might actually have been all of them)
Even in one instance where the other parent wound up dying from cancer alone, the classmate I had seemed to be aware of how shitty that parent had been to the parent who left.
So having seen that I cant help but think that depending on your childrens age there might be a chance that they’ll understand your decision even if he does. But I can understand not wanting it to happen and fearing it, nevertheless. It sounds awful…
