Rouky thank you for your response I tried making a point to my husband that to maintain the kids and my lifestyle, I would have to seek more support or work. However, he feels I should accept his offer, stay at home and do online schooling while I am raising the kids. If I seek more support, i'd be proving my worth but I'd likely lose him for good. If I accept his offer, I would be allowing him to take care of us which I think makes it easier on him to leave us. My pride wants to prove that I don't need him and I can survive and provide without him. I feel that just accepting his offer is allowing him to lead, which I believe he feels he was never allowed to lead our family. The kids and I would be better off accepting his offer and using that time to further my education. I don't want him to feel justified for the hurt he is cause, by providing financially.
