Do what's best for you. Ultimately, we parent by modeling more than by teaching, so doing what's best for you will ultimately teach your children to be in charge of their happines.

It does not say that they have to be their biological parents... If it's important to you, you can have a second (and a third and a fourth) adult role model around the children on a regular basis.
It's also proven that children, as young as newborns, sense their parents' depression or general misery. There's no point in keeping your children in an environment of resentment and lack of love - and what kind of role model would you be for their future love life?
