I hate my boyfriend with a passion. I am at the point of no return. I am trying to leave him, but I have kids with him, and been depending on him for many years financially. I am a stay at home mom. I am extremely unhappy because he is the such a jerk! He never defends me when his stupid family do things to piss me off. He always flirts with my friends and sisters. So I would always get paranoid and think he's cheating on me. I feel like a trapped bird. I need to get out of here!!! I am only staying because of my children. I don't know what I should do. My kids loves him so much.

a) allowing your boyfriend to treat you like that
b) not establishing financial independence
c) teaching them it's okay for these things to happen
?
He can stay apart of their lives without you being miserable.
They will grow up to think that they should be treated by their husbands as you are. or they will treat their wives as he does.
You will be fine as long as you don't start introducing multiple bfs to them, which fux up their minds completely!
This relationship is not good for any of you so get out while you are young and have some energy left!
You sound like you are done, so now all you need is a plan to get out. Now is the time to call in any favours from family and friends.
Always let him be a father to the children, unless he's abusing them. And try to avoid tarnishing their image of their father--even if he is a dick. It is better for their mental health that they are kept out of the fighting and negativity that's going on between you and their dad.
try to teach your bf and help him to change his behavior. it's not impossible. people can change. ;)
wish you have a happy family
