After all I've been through with skids, I tried to talk to my husband about my feelings towards his kid's disrespect to me. It seems to keep falling on deaf ears. I tried leaving but I keep thinking about our two boys. It's like he's ignoring me at All costs & it's making things worse. I don't know what else to do. His daughter stole from us & his son verbally disrespected me. I told him flat out I don't want to be in this household anymore and it hasn't registered through his thick skull. He just wants us to go to counseling. That won't help us. I just want to move on.

Maybe in a more controlled environment, such as counseling, he will listen...The counselor in those situations is a 3rd party listener who advocates listening, and calls the person out who is wrong, and helps fix it. If hes in a controlled environment such as an office, hes forced, with an advocate to listen, and so are you.

Did you recently marry your fiancé (you called him husband now), or not yet? If you haven't, don't.

The twins are a year now, are you still SAHM? DH can't make you stay if you really want to leave. Honestly though, if you have no income you'll have to reach out to social services to get you and your twins up and on your feet. You'll have to decide if you're just venting or if you're serious about leaving.

Is there any way you can go visit a friend or family member for a week or so? This might make him realize you mean business.

My ExH didn't really believe I was ever going to leave. I tried to make things better and threatened divorce for an entire year. He was shocked as hell when it actually happened.

I sometimes think men don't hear us flapping our gums.

Your first paragraph was a bit irrelevant to me but your other key points about counseling for me is a stepping stone. We have talked about the pros & cons about it and decided (through My stubbornness) that this should help. Thanks.

So we talked & decided to get counseling. I told him how he was bluntly and he even admitted his wrongdoing. Guess this is our next step. Hope to God this works. I'm still undecided on our future though.
