Leaving

I'm really struggle in my head and am considering leaving my partner. So much has happened in the last 4 years we've been together. I have tried my absolute best to support him through his mental health and help where he needed me to but he never stuck to anything and were back to square one or like just swept it like under the rug so to say. He bursts anger and has led to throwing things, punched holes in things, leaving and not sure whether he'll come back or not. One incident led to police being rang. I don't feel like he takes my feelings into consideration at all. We have almost 3 year together, and I know I need to think about how my happiness can affect and how I look after him. How do you mama work up the courage to leave??? Sorry, I just wanted to let this all out, I haven't really got anyone to talk to about this.

Hey, I am literally struggling with the same thing at the moment. My partner has been struggling with mental health even before this relationship, but I wasn’t aware that he’s this bad. His anger got too much and he is treating it now. He’s basically gone from this family now. Has he reached out for help at all? I know we all struggle with own mental health issues, but sometimes these need to be addressed.

He has, goes to like 1 or 2 sessions and stops and says he doesn't to go and ends up in an argument when i bring it up. Makes all these promises and breaks them. I'm at my end, and it's affecting my own mental health

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I feel that on my skin. I think it’s up to you, but look in your heart. If you still have feelings for him, this will be a hard decision to make, but you will be fine. If you do leave and he cares about you, he might understand later and take the steps to sort it out. But you try to focus on your own happiness. You are not alone x

Please leave him. It sounds painfully similar to my situation with my now ex. I know it seems hard but it’s even harder living and raising a child in the same house as a person who behaves like this. Sending strength and support from a recently single mama (since January 2025).

Hey I feel like I'm going through the same thing. Little different, I really need some moms to talk to the feeling of being alone. If you ever want to talk call or message me please. I think we all need support right now.
