Lookback: 1 year after leaving the partner

I chose to have children with an abusive partner

My children suffered emotional trauma due to their father's abuse and neglect

What I wish I knew
"I should have prioritized their well-being over my own needs"
If I could tell you one thing
"Trust your instincts and prioritize your children's safety"
