[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 279667, member: 6705"] {{{{{{{{{{[B]HUGS[/B]}}}}}}}}}} I had a lot different situation with XH - he was the difficult child... Since he was not physically violent I had a hard time leaving him. Now husband's X - BM - [I]was[/I] violent. Mostly though she emotionally scarred him and the kids. It took him 4 years of being with me to stop apologizing for answering the phone. His phone. I'm also learning what she did to the kids (slapping, kicking, punching) - and the threats to not tell. At this point, since the end of February difficult child 1 refuses to see her or speak to her at all. difficult child 2 used to be petrified - scared to DEATH - of her - and now is being spoiled and bribed, so he's happy about visiting - sometimes. He used to hide under chairs to avoid going with her. So what it comes down to is this. I disagree about whether it involves your kids. If you are unhappy, the kids will not be happy - and you will all spiral downward. That said, if he is violent to any of you - get out. Because someone who is violent to one can be violent to all in the blink of an eye, even unintentionally. Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
