[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you have to push for getting to the root of this, because even if you do leave and divorce (which I think is probably the right thing), he is going to be entitled to shared custody and time with the kids unless you have a solid reason to deny it. Whatever poor judgment is causing the theft issues could cause other impulsive/compulsive behavior that could put your kids at risk, certainly at least emotionally.

You don't need to get him treatment just so you can stay with him, but you do need to get him diagnosed (if something is there) and treated so he can be a good parent - most especially if he's alone with the kids.

This is the Catch-22 of divorce when a spouse is showing anger, poor judgment, or other similar bad behaviors -- you get out of the house, but now you're leaving your kids to fend for themselves when with that parent and you have to deal with an even more heightened emotionally-charged situation in negotiating custody, etc.

Many people stay married to protect their kids because it means at least you have them full-time.  [/quote]OP he's.  This is my dilemma. I'm angry but managing myself.  Exhausted but still a lot to do.  So incredibly unfair.  [/quote]
