The reason that I ended my relationship with my alcoholic, arguably narcissist husband to break the cycle. My parents divorced my I was 4 and found new relationships almost immediately and things remained dysfunctional.
I hope to break the cycle and show my girls (they are 4 & 6) it is better to do it on your own, then settle for anything less than you deserve. Hopefully one day I will find someone to show them what real romantic love looks like, as its nothing that they have seen so far, apart from how I feel about them obviously.
