Welcome back to the board amberdawn424,


I have to say that I am inclined to agree with the counselor that told you to leave the marriage. I say this because it seems like at this point you and your DH can't get along with each other and everything turns into a big fight with him threatening divorce. Plus he allows his mom to continue to disrespect you. I would contact a lawyer about your options and ask him about the 50/50 custody thing. I can't see how they would give him 50/50 custody when clearly your son is able to spend more time at home with you so why would they give him custody when he wouldn't even be able to spend the time with your son.


I say take the new shift if you really want it and talk to a lawyer about your options.

You should at least go speak with a few attorney's and find out what your options are.


This is no way to live, and your DH uses Divorce as a weapon to control you.


Big Hugs,

Welcome to the board amberdawn424,


Wow your mother-in-law is something. Too bad you didn't say back to her 'do you really believe that I don't care about my child?' Sometimes they need to hear how they sound. The fact that your husband won't defend you, doesn't want to hear it and doesn't want grandma to stop babysitting, is horrible and very telling.

"He constantly tells me he wants a divorce but then never goes through w/ it. "

Then it's up to you to serve the divorce papers.

This man sounds like a nightmare.
