I have a friend who stayed married for the kids. Wife treats him like shit. Kids are now rotten because they treat everyone the way mom treats dad. Dad tries to teach them the way mom treats him is not the way they should treat others. Not clear it's effective.

Kids take cues from those around them not just verbally, but emotionally and actively.

If your friend stayed married and responds to being mistreated passively, that isn't enough (for him or the kids).
