[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are in a very favorable position for custody. [b]People never get full custody[/b], but I really think you could. There are no reasons to stay and a million to leave. Please trust me, life can be so much BETTER.[/quote]

I did. Full physical and legal custody in DC.

OP here. I am not sure what I would get out of full custody. I just want my daughter to feel like part of a family, with a loving and caring dad.[/quote]
Does she have that now? It doesn't sound to me that what you're describing is a loving and caring dad situation.

Also, I think - just being brutally honest here - that if your child is already 8, then your desire to not work till she's in high school is indulgent and has probably screwed you financially and with regard to power dynamics in your marriage.  You could have got a full-time job on an actual career trajectory and not cling to your husband for money as you do now. You are choosing to keep yourself in an underling position for no good reason. At least be honest with yourself that you are conceding to a humiliating, unsatisfactory marriage for no other reason but to indulge your fancy to not work. Millions of children are in aftercare every day and are none the worse for the wear.  How many shit sandwiches are you wiling to eat and smile, telling yourself, at least I don't have to worry about money?[/quote]
