[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Living separate lives never gets better, only more distant. I’m flummoxed you wouldn’t divorce in this situation. Surely it’s better for your children to grown up with a loving relationship modeled for them.[/quote]
OP here. One additional factor weighing against divorce for me is that while we're together, I get to regulate who is around my children. DH's family is so trashy, hateful, racist and DH is so weak and ineffectual that he has and will continue to stand by while those animals are racist towards my children. Short of fighting him for full custody, which is not guaranteed, divorcing him would just mean my kids are exposed to his family with no one to protect them. I don't want to save myself at their expense.[/quote]

I think you need therapy for you to figure out what is best here.

I get what you are saying about not wanting your kids to be around your husband's family, but I'm not sure that's sustainable for the long run.

You were on the brink of divorce before with the custody issue looming large. What was different then?
