[quote=Anonymous]It's been a very difficult week, on vacation with emotionally abusive and highly reactive DH. He has been to counseling, he takes meds, we've tried different interventions, lots of baggage from him childhood. I'm at my wits end and he is becoming worse, not better despite all  the "help" and intervention. To add insult to injury, my career has been more successive than him (completely different work fields) which has added to emotional abuse towards me. Once we talked about divorce, he said, he would do anything to destroy me if I filed for divorce, even if that means lying to jeopardize my security clearance which I need for my work.  Yesterday, DC  "begged" me to divorce him. My children are tweens. The main reasons I have not divorced him is because 1. he would be a nightmare parent to co-parent with. We would have joint custody because there's never been physical abuse issues but the emotional abuse is becoming unbearable. 2. we wouldn't afford to maintain two households and live in a good school district in the D.C. metro area. 3. I feel I can better protect my children if I am around. If we were divorced, the children would be alone with him. My plan is to divorce once the children get older when there are no more shared children's responsibilities. However, this is clearly not a healthy situation for anyone. Tips/feedback would be helpful. [/quote]
