What's harder?

Getting divorced and seeing your child much less or staying married miserably but seeing your child every day

What's better for your children? Having two happy, healthy parents, whether that be separately or together.

If you feel miserable in your relationship ultimately it will affect your kids, your relationship with your kids and how your kids develop relationships in the future.

You deserve to be happy, I hope you get there, whatever that may look like 🧡

I just want to run definite flight reposonse

@Lockeddownagain I will say that I was a single parent for 9 years, it is definitely difficult and sad to begin with, but I did find parenting alone much easier as a single parent to my first than as a parental unit to my second.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

I'm much happier separated, but not having the kids all the time was hard to take at first. Took a few months, then I realised Life was calmer, happier and I started to accept that time without the children should be embraced, as it's hard having the two of them myself. Everyone will be happier in the long run with 2 happy homes rather than one miserable one. Good luck, it's not easy but for me has been worth it.

Separation & life after divorce saved my mental health. It is difficult at times, but the day in, day out misery ground me so far down I couldn't see how much it had affected me.
I've never felt better, even if some aspects of separation aren't my first choice.
