A mother left her partner because his frequent anger was harming their two daughters. She realized staying together for the family would teach them to accept constant volatility. She chose to show them that peace and emotional safety matter more than keeping a family intact.
And I think also one of the things that maybe I could offer is that if you have got children, there was one part of me that kept saying, well, how can you do this to your children? Because you're going to break the family up. And there was a louder voice that was saying, but is this what you would want for your daughter? Because I've got two girls. So is that what you want for your children? Do you want to teach your children that it's okay to live with somebody that's constantly angry and that loses his temper? And that, you know, and I just thought, no, I don't want that for them. I don't want to teach them that that's acceptable. So that was kind of probably one of my final pushes to leave.
