I am so overwhelmed ans in such a painful place 💔
I have always had a very rocky relationship with my partner but we have stayed together for 15 years, on my part, because I don’t want to be without my kids. Right now we moved into his parents house and he is very close to them, very much a mamas boy. I can’t stand being here and with him anymore but I am so scared to be alone and far from my kids and start from scratch. I don’t have anything of my own. I feel so sad and lost.
Sorry for your stress. I too lost a long relationship. Eventually it makes sense to stop repeating old habits

I think there are many others in similar spots. many people stay together out of fear of being alone. we chose to either embrace the situation we are in or make a plan to change. How old are your kids? Does your partner work in the long time together did you have a job or career at some point.
if you really want out the best plan is to build a way out. build a savings plan /credit and in that you will also build confidence. If at his parents, I am assuming you are having some issues the more we hate it and resent it the worse it feels. I Know it is hard but be happy you both had a place to stay.
