I am ending a 12 year relationship and we have 2 kids under 10. I am emotionally and mentally ready to move on but I worry about my kids. He has had a child with another woman during our relationship and it has been a strain in many ways on our relationship. He is very emotionally unavailable and I feel like I do it all on my own but he and his family make me feel bad for wanting to move on and say that I am abandoning him and our family. I just want my leave back!

@impartialWheel9079

so he stepped out of marriage and had a child with someone else but you are ruining the family ....did they keep a straight face telling you that ?

You are forever tied to him sharing children but leaving and being a positive role model to not be treated like that is a good lesson for kids

He abandoned the family when he chose to step outside his commitment to you & his kids. Of course his selfish behavior seems acceptable to his family. Maybe that’s where he learned this behavior was ok?!!


My mom faced a similar situation and she raised 4 of us alone….zero support from him. And honestly that was the greatest gift she could provide us — being a role model for self-respect and resilience. i thank her everyday for choosing to raise us in a home where trust, commitment and integrity was valued.


Sending you vibes for clarity, strength and peace 🙏❤️🤗

Thank you so much! This helped me in a major way coming from someone that lived it because I worry so much about the kids. Thank you!

Thank you! And yes the children are always top priority and he will be able to see then whenever he wants. My issue with us two as adults are not their fault. Thank you so much.
