Im so unhappy in my marriage and want to leave but how do I deal with the guilt of splitting up my children from their father? I dont want them to hate me for leaving their dad but for my own mental health, I just cannot stay.

They wont hate you. Theyll go through a change an upheaval, youll support them. Theyll still have both their parents. Theyll see you both being your best and really (if youve tried everything to make the relationship work) there's nothing better you can role model. It wont be easy, coparenting is quite difficult and of course goes on for years and through lots of big decisions and events. Its definitely not an easy out, staying is best for you all if you can make it work. But if its not working, then living unhappily is no good for anyone.
If you feel it will be so detrimental why don't you just leave and work on yourself?
