I have always said if I hadn’t left my first husband when i did that by the time i was 35 either i would be dead or I’d be in prison for killing him( in self defence I hasten to add!) It took alot of courage but I couldn’t stand seeing my 5 yr old daughter becoming a nervous wreck.
But it does depend on the circumstances. If there is absolutely no violence or ill will in the relationship then it must be considered
Personally I HAD to do it but i was supported by my mum and got a good solicitor ( having been secretly to a Citizens advice bureau first).
Both my children are now in their 30’s got great jobs ,happily married and have children of their own
