IWB...I totally agree with staying. I never thought of leaving my own home. At one point when my W was still living in the house, I had commented to her that everything was being done her way. She replied that if everything was being done her way, I would be moving out. I told her, she could forget about that. Why would I move if you are the one who wants to end it. That was the last time that ever came up.
I think staying is the right thing to do. You are setting an example for your children. They may not understand at this point. But, when they are older, they will appreciate you for what you did. I have 2 teenage daughters and a 6yo son. I have to be strong for all of them.
I remember how my mother raised me and my brother alone. It didn't hit me until I became a parent myself. I called her and apologized to her and told her how much I appreciated everything she did. This is what you have to look forward to by staying strong fro them.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
