How do you break up with someone when you both have kids from outside of the relationship involved? My child loves him and his children and I love his children, but he's changed into someone I don't know and I need to walk away, he's making me become someone I don't like and I refuse to go through another mentally and emotionally abusive relationship. He also hits and kicks things in anger (not me) but he just explodes, it's scary. Do I write them a letter? I am gutted at the thought of never seeing them again and at the thought of my child being so upset over this. Help?

You could write a letter and say you love them and make sure they have your phone number. That's all you can do.
But it's best for them and you and your kids that you break up.
How long were you together for?
If it has been a significant length of time, it might be a good idea to try and remain as civil as possible and arrange semi regular playdates.
Perhaps you could allow him to see your children at least once a month, at a time he has his children?
(If, of course, it is safe and everyone is willing).
