I know. My kids have seen this toxic relationship for their whole lives. I am so proud of them for being as healthy and great as they are. My little one said last year, during a blow up, “I don’t care if you get divorced or not, just stop this!” But nothing changed. I’m so sorry about the toxic relationship they had to be the children of. And I’ve always talked with them about how what they see is not normal, not healthy, and what is healthy.
But what can I do? I can’t stop having trauma reactions, panic attacks, depression, toxic relationship with my husband. I can’t bring myself to end the marriage.
