I can relate to the schoolwork issue. I changed my hours to 6:30 to 3:30 so I can help middle son with homework. All gades are up form C's to B's except math which went from D to C. I use positive hypnotic suggestions. Tell him he is good at math aand he has stopped fighting. He lets me check his math. But says "I won't change the answer". But he does.

I believe my H is so full of resentments he can't see anything good I do. He's always suggesting that I am abusive.

Well, it's a difficult journey. I have to believe H stays for more reasons than finances.

The homemaker role has been so devalued, I didn't really understand what women that didn't work did. It's so hard -- children require so much time. But it's well worth it.
