[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so unhealthy for your children to be raised in this dynamic.  If you truly care about your kids, get a divorce.  Show them they don't have to be treated like this.  Show them it's not ok.  Show them how to stand up for themselves. Show them how that type of behavior isn't tolerated.  Don't let them grownup in an abusive home. [/quote]

NP but this is my dynamic too. I'm afraid for my kids to be alone with him so I'm truly stuck as their buffer. I do talk to them about how its not okay and their father needs help but for now that seems like the best I can do. When they're a bit older and can advocate for themselves and do things like call the police when he loses his shit, then maybe I can finally leave him. [/quote]

I grew up like this.  I always felt guilty and blamed myself for the horrible situation we were in.  If my mother didn't have us, she'd be able to leave.  I spent a lot of time in therapy as an adult to work through it.  Rationally, I know it wasn't my fault and that my mother was responsible for her choices but, deep down, I still feel guilt.
