Do you think it's a good idea to live with an abusive partner just because they have kids together?

No. I left mine. It wasn't healthy for me to be in that type of relationship and it also wasn't healthy for the kids to see their parent treated that way -- it teaches them that it's ok to abuse another person.

No, it’s generally not a good idea. Staying with an abusive partner for the sake of children can harm both your well-being and the kids’ emotional health. Children benefit more from seeing a parent safe, healthy, and setting boundaries than from witnessing ongoing abuse.

I don't think that a healthy communication can be established between children, as they are independent from the partner and the person, and some experiences open up new experiences. However, people can change, only time will give us the right answer on this matter.

It's a good idea only if he's willing to change and if he accepts your help to become a new man...

Staying with an abusive partner just for the kids is a major red flag, love! Your happiness and safety should come first, as a healthy environment is best for both you and the kids. Kids can sense tension and learn from what they witness. It's crucial to break the cycle and set a positive example. Prioritize finding a way to a safer, loving environment. Remember, you're not alone, and there are resources to help! 😊💪

No!

Staying in an abusive environment does more harm to the children than separating and establishing a safe new normal.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

No, but I imagine the people who make those choices don’t do that “for the kids” more likely it’s because the abuser has made threats they’re afraid of

Why do you think so many people are in therapy now as adults? Absolutely not. Don’t allow your children to be traumatized. Love them enough to leave.

Good idea for the kids maybe. Children in single parent homes are more likely to be convicts, sex workers, drug abusers and alcoholics.

[AngryCarl2]

No, not good for you and not good for the kids either.

[Anonymous]

No, I dont think so.
