You've done the right thing

You and your children need somewhere of you're own, away from him. He has his own demons to sort out and nobody is saying you can;t support him if that is what he chooses to do but you've got to put your kids and yourself first. If he can prove he can change then great, but its not your responsibility to fix him. Focus on yourself and your kids.
