Last night, I found myself staring at the ceiling again, wondering if staying in this broken marriage is really what's best. My husband and I barely speak anymore, but every time I think about packing up and leaving, I see my 8-year-old daughter's face. 😢 A friend told me something that hit hard: "If they left you and the kids, that's on them. If you left them and have kids, that's on you." Those words keep echoing in my mind. Sure, we're not happy, but are we being selfish thinking about our own feelings when our children need stability? 🤔 I've been through this nightmare before, and I know how deeply it hurts everyone involved. The bottom line feels so clear yet so complicated - kids need both parents to grow up properly. Have you ever felt trapped between your own happiness and your children's wellbeing? I really need someone who understands. 💭 #divorce #parenting #familystruggles #FamilyRelationships
