Have anyone thought about leaving a demeaning/disrespectful partner with kids?

If you are able to leave, please do. If you aren’t, focus on the sake and well being of your children, while you strategize and plan on how to leave in the future.

Do not stay with someone that disrepects or demeans you. You need to take care of yourself and show your children that it's not ok to treat your partner that way no matter what. It will hurt them for a while but it will be worse if you stay and things progress. As a devoted parent, I know this is easier said than done, but I have no regrets because my daughter knows that I tried to make things work and they just didn't, so I picked myself and her up and moved on. I am so much happier because of it. It took a couple of years for my daughter to get completely over it, but she is stronger now as well. Good luck in whatever you decide to do! Just make sure to take care of yourself, because if you aren't ok, you can't be your best self for your children.

I’ve heard kids of divorced parents say that they wished their parents had separated sooner. One person told me that he felt like he was the reason (only child no sibling) his parents couldn’t leave an unhappy marriage. Somehow he felt responsible for their misery. Also, if your partner doesn’t treat you well, you may be setting a bad example for your children. They may think it is ok to treat your SO like it or think that it is normal to be an abuser or ‘abusee’ in a relationship. Consider those things when you are making up your mind.

Your kids? Their kids? Other people's kids? Or just trash talking with 8 yr olds on CoD? Context matters.

Our kids. So I am waiting for kids to grow up. Thanks!
