[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  First, thank you for some very caring and thoughtful responses.  I have been crying all morning and I am trying to remain strong and positive for my children.

My DH would be devastated if I left him.  However, I think he would agree to a temporary separation for the children’s benefit.

We conceived our children during times where he was flourishing with his job.

I can’t be the breadwinner as I am a teacher and that’s not gonna cut it.  Our last child was born at 26 weeks and had a host of problems and I just needed to be home with her.   She is thriving now and that’s one positive!!  The medical debt we incurred as a result of a long NICU stay is also putting a lot of stress on us.

My parents lives on the west coast and I live on the East Coast.  It’s a long move, but probably in the children’s best interest.  My father said he would pay childcare so I can get my act together and save money living rent free.

My DH needs help.  I’m so sad about all of this.  But the children’s well being has to come first.  They can not see me cry anymore.

I just want happiness.  I guess we all do.

OP I just think you're being super immature.  Unless you're just looking for a reason to leave your husband, it doesn't sound like you want to take any financial responsibility for the family at all.  PLENTY of families with two kids have two working parents, including a teacher.  If your parents are willing to help out financially, why not help out in a way that lets you keep the family together?  You're basically proposing to take your DH's kids away because he lost his job.  Do you think that's going to fly in a divorce court?  No.  [/quote]
