Yes LL,

You have tried. No one here will or can tell you what to do. We all have to find the line between enforcing a healthy boundary, and prideful or vindictive behavior. We all must search Inside, to find the fine line between being humble, and being mistreated/a doormat. (btw, I read somewhere that our journey on earth is actually an INWARD journey, which I thought was interesting.)

I think you know your h is way over the line, even for this bb....given the circumstances of your 5th child's birth, and his A and OW, well, he wins this months award for goony jerk h.

Someday, we hope to present the LBSers a trophy of some sort, like a vacation with massages, pool boys, etc. For now, just know we are on your side and rooting for you and your kids. IF your husband sees the light, great. But you have to put the kids ahead of things now. I mean, his actions are against their interests, not to mention yours. What is his family doing/thinking? OMG if my son did something like this to MY grandchildren, I would soooo fly out and sit my son down and do some serious "'splainin' " to him. Blood thicker? Um, yeah and guess what? Those kids are their blood, and so, WHAT ABOUT THEM??? You could be the world's worst WIFE ----and STILL they should help with the kids...
geez.
