[quote=Anonymous] They are old enough for you to be honest with them, this doesnt't mean you have to badmouth your husband, but be candid. OP, it's okay for you to leave. You don't have to suffer for the rest of your life or his life. You don't have to be his caregiver. Your kids might be upset for a while, or they might actually understand why you are doing it. It's highly unlikely they are totally unaware of his mental instability. As for what you do, you can support them but maintain your boundaries in regards to your ex. If you all can have holiday dinners together, that's great, but they have no right to expect you to tolerate any abuse or misbehavior from him in order for that to happen. If they don't already, they will likely start seeing his toxic behavior for themselves and start creating their own boundaries. Help them find resources if needed. [/quote]
