Everything in your post supports what your therapist said about your husband's behavior being abusive. This statement, though, out of all you said would be a deal-breaker for me.

As an adult, I make choices about what I will tolerate. Your kids have no choice so, as a parent, you are responsible for ensuring their health and well-being. Being mocked and demeaned by a patent is unacceptable. I can't overstate how damaging this is to your kids. Unless you are standing up for your kids when he does it, you are complicit in the abuse. That alone would lead me to divorce. You and your kids, especially, deserve better.

(Yes, my father did this to me and my siblings. It was so hurtful and damaging. I still can't understand why our mother didn't protect us.)[/quote]

So you don’t like how AsD mocks his own young kids, among other things.

So you divorce him.

And then he gets 50% custody, totally unsupervised.

And that’s your solution??!?  That’s the family court’s solution. Abusive dad or not. Mentally ill dad or not. [/quote]
