I want to leave my bf of 8 years,and its not for another man or any selfish reasons. We have 3 children togehter and the only way I see fit to move is by leaving the children with him. I feel like I would be a bad Mom for doing this and don't want people to think bad of me.

Its impossible to talk to my bf about this because he is mean to me and would not let me move. I'd have to pretty much walk out with what I can carry I am sure.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

I want my children but need this time to get on my feet and find the real me. He has drug me down so much I'm not sure who I am anymore. So pretty much what I am asking is if anyone has any advice for me and do you think I would be horrible to leave him with the children so I can start a new life for us?

hlskitten agony auntI find it hard to imagine not having my children with me, geez I am clock watching every other weekend when mine are due back from their dads, and thats only from saturday to sunday. I start getting withdrawel symptoms if they're not back by 5pm!

So I probably shouldn't, and couldn't comment on this question. Apart from saying think very carefully. They may end up feeling a great deal of rejection, no matter what reasons you give. They are children afterall.

Good luck.
