Aw the poor baby
Joking aside, life's a shit-show. That's just the way of things. Some have it better, many have it worse. You end this life the same way as you came into it: alone. So make sure to have your own back, don't count on anyone else to. Life ain't what we want it to be, it is what it is. So many things in life are out of our control; so don't try to. Instead, confront that which you can't control; only then can we find some semblance of peace in our lives.

Believe it or not but working in conflicts was my bread and butter for years. I am a trained mediator and negotiator. The one place I could never use my skills is in my marriage. The reason why all my training and experience over the years won't work is that my wife is a "Needy Narcissist" this is a very dangerous personality type to deal with and it is on the psychotic scale. Reason is useless with a person like this.
I have a saying "never start a war, but if you find yourself in one do everything you have to do to win". This may mean destroying the other person in the process. Divorce is a messy game, that is why I never worked in family mediation and focused on political and military contracts.
For me when I leave, it will be like the gates of hell are opened because she will try to wipe the floor with me. She looks so innocent and she can turn on crocodile tears on demand. Any judge looking at her couldn't believe that she does what she does and tries to control everyone around her, even her boss does what he is told. If she can't get her own way she goes into a meltdown.
When the day comes to leave I will have to plan it like a military op. I will always be there for my kids because I love them to bits, but there will be no let's be friends with my wife. As far as I am concerned she will be dead to me and just maybe I can get some peace for the first time in years. For now it is a watching waiting and planning game until the time is right. My eldest is a young woman; she sides with her mother. I will have to make sure my two youngest get on their feet first because they need his dad around.
