I understand your questions....I think all good moms would wonder the same thing. Here is what I learned from my experience:
1. As long as you show love to your children and do not talk their father down to them, they will see with their own eyes the truths. They won't need you to explain.
2. Giving of yourself to your children will mean so much more than giving of things. Things can be replaced, a mother's love cannot.
3. Safety and peace is more important than togetherness/chaos. If you need to move away from the H and the chaos in order to achieve safety and peace, then you are doing the right thing for you and your children.
4. Keep adult problems away from children's ears. They hear when we don't think they hear...they see what we don't think they could see. They have no ability to understand adult issues, it only confuses them and gives them false ideas.
I wish you well.....and hope that things work out well for you and your children.
