Ladies: Would You Stay in an unhappy Marriage just for the Kids?

I hear alot of people say they stay because of the children.I have never experience being in an abusive relationship but I was in one that I was unhappy with.My personal opinion I dont think its healthy for the children.I really dont think I could remain in an abusive relationship.If I'm not happy then the kids are not either.

H[i]i academic, It's hard to talk when I am not in the situation but when it is very traumatic to my kids and to me, I will stay away from that marriage! I've known some girls who prefer to stay in their marriage for the kids and also because they can't afford to be with their own, their partners are the one earning, but no physical abuse for them....only that they are not happy for some reason![/i]

If it were up to me, NO i would not stay in a bad marriage just for the sake of my children. I would tell them that they are loved more than anything, and that is why I must leave the marriage. I've seen cases where women have stayed in bad marriages for the sake of children and ended up resenting the children afterwards and taking it out on them when its not their fault to begin with.
