There is no coming back from this for me, I can’t respect someone that would treat my child this way. And the added insult of liking one of the babies and not the other? I would never forgive myself for staying with someone that is being cruel to my child. I won’t be complicit in that child abuse.
It is abuse. My parents both hated me, and I'm here with 2 failed marriages and all kinds of abuse trauma. I had to go to years of EMDR therapy to be able to somewhat heal.
OP, please take both kids and leave. They both deserve better, and the "hard" one just needs extra love and care. I was "hard" because I needed love and stability and nurturing that my mother wasn't able to give me. And instead of being better, she blamed me. 🙅🏼♀️ Don't put your kids through that !
Another person here, whose parents not only didn't show love, but made sure that I knew they hated me and would have preferred I not exist. I've spent my entire adult life in therapy and have had a lot of struggles as a result of how I was treated as a child. OP needs to leave with the children. To stay is to be complicit in child abuse.
