I've finally decided to call it quits, but not told H yet. No third parties involved. We have two DC, aged 8 and 4. I've resolved not to say anything negative about their dad to them at all, but want them to feel free to talk about their feelings throughout the upheaval that's ahead.
H has a bit of a short fuse and hasn't hesitated to drag our eldest into arguments in the past :( I grew up in a household without fear and I feel that I owe our DC at least that. I don't think he'll accept my decision without fuss. We had a huge row a couple of weeks ago and he thinks things are okay now but as for me my eyes are being opened and I realise that I've not been happy for quite some time.
I guess I'm asking for some hand holding and also some advice as to what I can do for my children in what's going to be a difficult time ahead.
