I thought I would share my story for all those struggling in relationships or are concerned about how ending a relationship will affect the young ones.
My sons dad and I broke up 5 years ago when he was 4. Although it was amicable and we tried to help him through it together he really didn't Handle it well and then the next year his grandad died who he was VERY close to and on top of that he was not adjusting to school and his teacher definitely wasn't helping the situation.
Since then both his dad and I have met wonderful new partners who are also both very supportive of our son. We took him to see a councillor and he started to become his old self again. Both his dad and I have gotten engaged to our partners and I am expecting a little brother or sister for our boy.
I walked past his room tonight and he was singing a song to himself about how he loves his family and they love each other and it was really heart warming and rewarding to see that we have done a lot of right things by him to make him as happy as he is today.
No one is a perfect parent but sometimes we have perfect moments.
Love you all. Xoxo

That is so lovely. From the perspective of someone at a crossroads I have felt that if hubby and I don't last my daughter will be alone in life and sad (I know it's irrational but I'm addressing it at counselling). But it is really lovely to hear that it isn't necessarily like that.
Thanks for your post! It is exactly the thing I needed!
Thank you. :( i am one of these possibly needing to escape and I guess always we worry about the kids. I dont think things will ever be normal as its abusive for me but I do love hearing this and knowing maybe.... it can work and for me and the kids to be happier x
