He will definitely still try to use the kids as leverage. Probably by withholding college funding and/or painting me as the bad guy. I’ve done everything I could do to protect them though and now I need out. [/quote]

It sounds like you are the bad guy. [/quote]

Eh... bailing on marriage and strategizing how to get money from your financially successful spouse... [/quote]

I’m the op and I’m not sure why you would draw this conclusion. Bailing on being abused. Sorry, my life, what’s left of it, matters too.  I mentioned he’s successful because between his charm and success, no one would believe how he behaves behind closed doors.

I have a job, I make a fraction of what he does because I mommy tracked to care for two kids with learning disabilities and health issues. He’s already told me that if I ever left him that he would quit his job before I got a dime of his money. I’m not expecting much, I just need to get out safely. I came into our marriage with a small inheritance and want to make sure that’s protected from him. He can keep everything that’s his. He would be overjoyed to find me destitute on the street without him but I’m not going to let that happen.

This is really hard for me, if you can’t be somewhat decent with your comment, could you just move along and be a jerk somewhere else.

Just a note of support, OP. I totally hear you- I am waiting for my youngest to finish HS and then I'm out out peaceing out. My husband has been verbally abusive for 20 years, and I'm a lobster in the pot. I can't really be around him anymore without being physically nervous and sick. I need to stick around to protect my kids- and I am balancing my own career and living my life to the fullest for now. Good for you, you will get through this!!!! I have a lawyer already, but we are not in VA so I don't have recs. I've been told that the lawyer can do awesome forensic accounting. [/quote]

☺️ Thank you. I wish you all the best for the future new you! [/quote]
