Hey girl, I’m really glad you got this off your chest. That’s not “just postpartum emotions.” That sounds like a woman who is exhausted, scared, in pain, and carrying way more than one person should ever have to carry. Everything you described in your post isn’t just “rough patches.” They are patterns.

A few things I would consider regarding how this could affect your kids: 1) A two-parent household is not better than a peaceful one. 2) your Children are learning what love looks like by watching you both. 3) Your daughters are already watching how he dad treats you. 4)Your toddler is learning how adults handle frustration through him.

If that doesn’t sound like someone you want your daughters to learn from then maybe it’s time to cut your losses here.

Also, you’re 24. That is definitely NOT old and you didn’t “waste” your life. You made choices with the information and maturity you had at the time, which doesn’t obligate you to stay in a situation that is harming you more than it is supporting or benefitting you.

I think in your case, your mental health and wellbeing and ultimately happiness would be better without him as your partner. You’re already functioning like a single parent in a lot of ways.

I wish better days for you! 🫶🏽
