[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 636284, member: 1550"] Nothing could make me stay either. Agree that no man is worth risking savings/health/life. Your family loves you, which is why they think you should leave. With your husband's attitude and his family's head in the clouds, I really doubt there is much hope that all four of these kids can be kept in line. You are putting yourself in harms way for a man. No man is worth your life. I don't care how much you love him right now. It's not enough. I highly suggest reading a great book that helped many of us "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie (I always spell it wrong, but the book will come up if you contact Amazon or even if you just put it in the search engine). In my opinion, you need help and therapy. This situation is beyond the norm and could actually end up with somebody dead. That's the extreme of it, but these are not your normal, loving stepchildren. And it's not just bio. mom's fault. Your husband abandoned them, for whatever reason, and apparently it is too late to change them into empathetic people. Run, run, run. Loving a man is not an excuse to put your own quality of life in danger. They could lie that you abuse them and you could end up in jail if they are great liars, like most antisocials are. You in my opinion should risk that, even if this man is the only man you'll ever love. You need to love yourself more than him. Hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
