Ahhh, children, the collateral damage in an abusive relationship. Adults think they don't "see" what is going on , but they do and they even someehow feel that it must be their fault, for not being better, nicer, quieter or smarter. It takes courage to choose the unknown. But when the known is so bad, you have to make the jump for the sake of the children and your own mental health. Good for you girl.
