For all the separated parents

Hey mommas (and dads if any)!

Me and my SO are not on that good of terms and quite honestly I’ve been thinking of just packing up my things and leaving because he causes so many arguments and is becoming very controlling. It’s been going on for years and I’m almost at my breaking point.

I’m finding it very hard because I don’t want to rip our family apart - we have a 2yr old & we are expecting a baby later this year... so I’m kinda of stuck on what to do. He says he’s serious this time and going to change his ways but I don’t know if I believe it.. I’ve actually left the house with my 2yr old and came to my parents for a couple days to make him open his eyes and that if it continues I will be gone.

I guess I’m just looking for advice on what you would/did do and how you and your SO split everything in the house when you went your separate ways; furniture, children’s stuff, etc.
