You deserve to be happy, you deserve to have a life too. Staying in a dysfunctional marriage teaches the children "that is normal". Leaving and getting a life for yourself and loving your children and providing a safe home for them teaches them how to "leave" a bad situation instead of stay a prisoner to it.

So, don't "stay" for the children, it hurts them more than you realize.
Thanks for this!
