Mrs, I want you to seriously think about your thoughts about the children. It isn't always the best thing for them to watch you being mistreated, allowing yourself to become a martyr for them.
I have considered this Cat. I weigh this against showing them also commitment and selfless love. Its a balancing act that is beyond me, I think.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
