Dear Dáithí: ‘My paranoid partner calls me names in front of the children’

Dear Dáithí,

This is not something I would normally do, but I’m really unsure of what to do at this point. My partner and I have been together for 30 years. He is the father of my three children and the stepfather to two of my older kids, who are all aged 15 and above.
