Today is the day I leave my husband

It's been on my mind for a couple of years now. In the last year I have made no effort to try and keep the peace anymore, which has spiralled. We aren't compatible and sadly I don't love him anymore (lots of backstory, but this is irrelevant)

I have packed my bags. I'm about to pack my children's bags and we are going to stay at my parents until I can work out where we can live. (Children are very young and don't understand what is going on)

Can anyone who has left their husbands please give me the steps they did on this day? How do I tell him? Should I have the children with us? I don't want to leave and just take the children with me as I think this would be too distressing for him. Im thinking about leaving one child with him and I'll take the other for a few days before we establish what is going to happen.

I can't tell him and live under the same roof. It's a small house and it would be too stressful.

I sound quite cold. But I am having a moment of calm and need to ask advice on what I need to do...

Take both children if you are going. A 2 and a 3 year old will notice they are not home and their routine has changed. I have a 2 year old and DD would definitely be asking Where's daddy? When can we go home? Maybe you should ask him to leave if you want to devorce your husband, better to keep children where they feel secure and safe.
