@phillipcdugas1: Brother, this battle is brutal, and it’s one that men in toxic relationships with female narcissists face every single day. On one hand, you love your kids more than anything. You don’t want them growing up without you. But on the other hand, staying in a home ruled by a narcissistic woman destroys you from the inside out. The gaslighting, the silent treatments, the blame, it eats away at your identity until you barely recognize yourself. Here’s the truth: kids don’t just learn from what you say, they learn from what you model. If they see their dad broken, controlled, and silenced, that becomes their blueprint for relationships. Leaving isn’t about abandoning them,it’s about showing them what strength, peace, and healthy love look like. You are not crazy for feeling torn. You are not weak for wanting peace. You are a man caught in a cycle of narcissistic abuse, and there’s a way out. #FemaleNarcissist #NarcissistRecovery #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #narctok #ToxicRelationship

Don't forget the thoughts about maybe "I should just drive it to oncoming traffic"

Set her free, she deserves the peace of not having a man who hates her sleeping in her bed, or even finding someone who likes her. The kids will be better off in 2 happy homes than one full of resentment.

Just leave, be respectful, see your kids and pay child support. Easy, I don’t know why anyone has to make it difficult

Life is short. Kids are resilient. They adapt. Show them the happy version of you!!!

Men sacrifice their happiness for their families. Women sacrifice their families for their happiness.

As a woman all I can say is if that’s how you feel then it’s time to go. Your children won’t benefit from an unhappy or toxic atmosphere. They deserve 2 happy parents whether it’s together or apart that makes that happiness happen.

Not to mention the fact that if we leave we are homeless. I literally slept in my car then had a one bedroom unit with a blow up mattress.

The kids and the mortgage are the main reason. Wanting my kids to grow in a house not an apartment

💯💯True. A very big dilemma for a man especially where there's cheating by a woman or constant disrespect.

You should never stay for the kids. No, one should. As a child who witnessed my mom and dad constantly arguing let me tell you I was relieved when they told me they were getting divorced and he was moving out.
Children can feel tension, hear the arguments and its not fair
