Rescuing your own self from crazy stuff? That is self honoring, self respecting behavior. You have inherent worth, dignity and value. You
deserve good treatment. NOT. THIS. CRAP!
He can't treat you well? As a person of worth, dignity, and value? He does not deserve to be with you then. You certainly don't deserve him. You deserve BETTER!
I can imagine it was hard to do. But I think in this wonky situation? It was the best thing to do. Save yourself and the kids, and get out of the burning house with your self worth, dignity, and value intact.
Him? He hasn't been doing self-respecting behavior. Or doing anything especially worthy, especially dignified, or especially valuable here. Just making shenanigans! But you don't have to to lower your personal standards to go join him in shenanigans just to keep him company. Exposing your kids to all this yuck.
If he comes back begging, demanding, pleading, threatening, crying, screaming, whatever? Recognize he's desperately flipping through his record collection of FLIMSY. Trying to play just the right new lie/song to ensnare you back up again in his stupid.
This is not the DJ and not the party for you.
Stay strong and keep saying NO. See him for the messed up person he is. Flimsy character, flimsy morals, flimsy values. You deserve QUALITY people around you. Not flimsy people.
You are a strong role model. I think the kids will learn (over time perhaps) that NO. Not even for a partner should you hurt your own self. It is a vital skill to be able to say
"I love you, but NO. Not even for you am I going to do things that hurt me. That is too much to ask! I have to love me too!
And you asking me such demeaning and devaluing
FRESH?

I'm not all that sure I want to keep on loving you. Shoo!"
I hope you get well away from all this crazy and your healing time is restorative.
You deserve WAY better in Life. I don't know you in real life. But I'm confident you can get out there and create that Quality Life for yourself that you deserve. You are NOT flimsy people.
Good on you!
