[quote=Anonymous]OP was thinking of this thread and came back to say I’m sorry you are going through this. So horrible. I haven’t been through this or anything like this but in general I think what I would do is focus on my kids. Mine are pretty anxious and one has mental health issues and a business trip for me would be a lot already so I wouldn’t leave them with my in laws who they know but have never been cared for by. It also depends how important this trip is and if you think you can focus if you go. I do believe most employers will give you a lot of slack for a single medical emergency so I would focus on making sure you don’t get caught flat footed in the future. Build routines you can do on your own and get your kids really familiar with a couple regular sitters. I’d decline all but totally essential travel for a while. You have no way of knowing what is going to happen with your husband so the best thing you can do for your kids is put on your air supply and be ready for whatever comes.

I think you can tell your in laws they need to be helping with your WH mental health, not your kids. Your kids need a stable parent in their life and you deserve to not be manipulated (intentionally or unintentionally) by your WH actions into something you will later regret. [/quote]
