[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let go of the equity in the home. Rent in a different school district.

Kids adjust. I hate to say it but they do.

Let your DH have the equity, at least you will be free of him. [/quote]

This is the OP. We would split equity if it came to that. I could not get a household started without my part.

You're right that I would have to rent in another district. There are no rentals I could afford here. Our home appreciated a lot in the past 15 years. I'm lucky to be here.

My husband isn't fighting for his life. He's not suicidal and hasn't been. He lost a job because he stopped trying and lied to me for months about it, taking away my opportunity to help him avoid this. After it happened I didn't yell, pinosh, or judge. I tried to help and be supportive, all while working at my job, sometimes yaking on consulting work, and doing the lion's share of parenting tasks.

His therapist says he can work. But he has refused to just get hourly work or something to help until a white collar job comes through. There are times when I come home from a 10-hour work day to find filthy dishes in the sink, all his.

And yet here I am, trying to keep us together. But I'm selfish because after being sole breadwinner and working myself to   exhaustion for years, I'd like to spend a week in the Shenandoah or Outer Banks, swimming with my kid who hasn't had any special time in years either.
