My husband is soooo toxic. This day is happy and cheerful next day he's moody and withdrawn. He's aggressive when he speaks to me but so calm and patient when he speaks to anyone else. I hate been around him. I'm trying to ween away from him but I afraid it will hurt my 2 year old if I leave...

Get out if you can. I stayed in a marriage far too long. It’s not your fault. You have the right to be happy.

Do not stay in a toxic relationship because of the kid.

You may think you are doing a disservice to your child if you leave the father. But actually you'll do more harm if you stay. Because kids are like sponges they soak up everything. Plus he's going to see how his father treats you. Trust me that will stay with him for the rest of his life. He'll be 50 yrs old thinking I should have done something to protect my mom from him.

Or your child grows up and becomes like his father. He will verbally abuse his partners and just be an unhappy person.

You don't have to put up with this. You are worthy of love and respect.

Wishing you healing and peace 🫂❤️

I understand completely how you feel. I am going through something similar. My significant other is working so hard towards changing so I have stayed. But he lapses a lot. I’ve always told him if he stays consistent and dedicated to bettering himself I respect that, and I’ll stay. But at the point he stops working on himself and being accountable, I have to leave. We have a lot of chaos and dysfunction as well, and my daughter who is 15 is supposed to be living with me but something happened that prolonged her coming. If she was here to see what is happening, I’m not so sure I’d be giving him so many chances.

Just know you’re not alone. Seeing your post on here this morning reminded me that I am not alone too. Thank you for being open enough to share this. Positive thoughts your and your familys way.💜

Prioritizing your well-being is crucial, and your child needs a happy and healthy parent. Seeking support from friends, family, or a support group can also provide strength and guidance. You deserve peace and happiness.
