Man this hit home. I could have written it myself. Literally the exact same situation (minus the children from previous relationships).

I left a marriage like this a few months ago. Things got bad 12 years ago but I stayed because I knew coparenting and custody would be a nightmare and I feared for my kid’s safety if they were alone with him because of his extreme emotional dysregulation. About 2 years ago kiddo asked me “Mom why do you stay with him?” and I said, “because a judge, not you or me, will decide who you live with”. They got it right away…we left as soon after they turned 18 as we could.
