What was your breaking point?

My relationship feels like it’s crumbling but I don’t know how/if it’s time to leave for the wellness of me and my child. If people don’t mind answering - what was the point where you realise you had to leave? It’s such a big decision that will impact the rest of our lives and destroy our family and I just don’t know what to do and I have no one to talk to about it as only his family lives close.

When I noticed the effects it was having on my son. He was feeding off of our energy. He could tell how unhappy I was. It made him clingy, emotional and not happy. Since I asked him to leave my sons made so much progress, plays alone and trying to talk so much more. I was crying most days and begging him to make an effort with his son, help with the house and quit drinking and there was no change after multiple chances. So I told him it’s over and I wanted him out.

I hope that helps. My inbox is open if you need to talk about it x

I’ve finally said to my partner last Sunday that I’m not in love with him. It’s about drinking, it’s about how he treated all of us when he was stress, he shouted a lot not just at me but at our daughter. I could tell that my oldest daughter only 3 is playing up a lot and hitting out mainly at daddy for over a year but when it has only been me and her or my family or other people she hardly hits out fewer times. When daddy is around it’s constant hyperactivity. I need to calm her down. In the end for my own sanity and the sake of my girls I told him straight. There was also gas lighting involved in the relationship. . Of course at times I could miss place something like my phone but he does the same with things. He would say that I always loose things. I could go on but I won’t. I’d rather have happy me and children. Good luck to you xx

@Danielle this is exactly my situation I could’ve written it! This is why I’m like is it worth leaving over or will it get better?

Trust your instincts. If you think you will feel better and also thinking of your children/s. You’ll know.
