Yes, if things are over with your wife they are over. You daughter needs to see a healthy relationship not one that you dont want to be in. My parents divorced when I was 10 and it was hard at the time but looking back im glad they did rather than stay together just for the kids. Your daughter would suffer more mentaly if you stay in a bad relationship.

If you are afraid of your wife and mental harm to your daughter you should move out and divorce and take your child with you and advise the lawyer of your fears. And he may advise you to seek a Doctors help or see the courts for an appointed mental evaluation of your wife. Most of all you should seek advice from lawyers and legal help if this is the case. Your daughter is what is important here. Please get her help.

I can tell you from experience that staying married because of your child is not good. I did that in my first marriage and everyone was miserable - especially my children. If you decide to divorce your wife, make a special effort between the 2 of you to never speak badly of the other in the presence of the child. My divorce was amicable and my children did great.

Staying in a bad relationship for the sake of a child is more detrimental than divorce. Your child surely sees that the two of you are unhappy and that can lead to a false sense of security for her. Talk honestly and openly with your little girl. She already knows there's trouble, believe me. Assure her it's not her fault and that the two of you want her to be happy with two parents who would be happier apart. She'll adjust if the two of you are willing to put her needs of reassurance first. Bottom line is to NEVER down the other parent and encourage healthy relationships with the other parent. Children are always better off in happy environments, not miserables homes.

This country is full of children of divorced parents. They all survive. That's why there are counselors for children. You must think of yourself. In 8 years she'll be off to college, with barely a look back. You will be 8 years more miserable than you are now. THINK OF THAT! She will adapt.

I think that kids are very in tune with what is going on around them. She probably senses what is going on, so I think that if you feel like you should not be together than don't. Not to say that she wouldn't be hurt, but it will be better for her in the long run.

staying in a crappy relationship is going to set her up to seek out the same kind of crappy relationships when she is older.
