I was mentally abused as a child, not physically. I watched my mother and older brothers and sisters go through abuse though. I can tell you from experience that even though I wasn't slapped or kicked I was still abused and to this day it still affects me. It's something you never get over. My parents had severe marriage problems. They shouldn't have stayed together and we left so many times I can't count, I went to 13 different schools if that tells you anything. We would be run out of the neighborhood because of the noise and police visits. All I can tell you is think about your kids...they have ONE childhood. You don't want to wake up someday and realize that they were miserable and hurting because you didn't want to leave. We as adults have a duty to make their lives better than our own. I don't know if your religious but I always think of what the bible says.."children are a gift from God". I hope you make the right decision.
