I truly deeply hate what this will do to the children. Yet begging, pleading, asking him to consider it for their sake will fall on deaf ears. What will it accomplish... make him more convinced that his way continues to be the right way

Unfortunately right about this, doesn't keep most of us from trying to buck the norm first, especially in the beginning.
Spreading your own wings & getting closer to "you" is what brings the most positive outcome. I admire the way you're doing that.
