You need to be clearer on what grounds you require. Discretionary leave can only be given in very limited circumstances (not family life issues, that has its own route). Give a reason why your situation is exceptional? Do you have children in the UK or a partner?

As you're an overstayer you can't work and this could affect future applications including naturalisation. Moreover, you face automatic re-entry refusal, at least 12 months is you leave voluntarily. You also risk being deported.

As:

Article 8 ECHR wrote:
There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

You can apply as an overtstayer without leaving if you can show a refusal or removal will interfere with that family life. There is now a specific route for Article 8 applications. You should seek professional advice and also perhaps consider the EEA route. If their spouse/child is a British Citizen or EEA national.
