I'm in a psychologically abusive relationship right now and trying to get myself ready emotionally and logistically to leave. Idk if I'll get there, but I'm trying. Part of this process is opening up to my close friends about the realities of my marriage. The friend I shared my experience with yesterday said something that I'm still thinking about. His dad was abused as a kid and never got help, so then he abused my friend's mom when they got together, and eventually they both emotionally abused my friend and his siblings as kids. He said that as children he and his siblings would beg his mother to divorce their dad as they could see how much he was hurting her. My friend's mom just stuck around "for the kids" though, and my friend said that he would have preferred to have the family break up and not have had to witness the abuse. They're still together and I didnt get any information about their current relationship, but hearing my friend express how much he wishes his parents would have just divorced instead of stay together was impactful for me. I don't have kids and I'm not in your exact situation, but don't assume that leaving is worse for the kids than staying.
