Do your parents understand that you and your children will be moving in when the divorce comes down and that they will be supporting you again? Try pointing that out to them.


Also let them know that if they don't 'behave' that it may end up putting stress on your relationship with them. Thus... pushing you away from them.

Your husband made a mistake. If it ever happens again, yes, be gone in two seconds flat. Insure you have the kids.

It also depends on the situation as well. I hit my wife when she was defending 'Tom' after I called him a 'Homewrecker' and that he is the reason we were in our mess. Now, please, don't judge me, as I am a pacifist and I believe that violence solves nothing. It was very out of character for me to do such a thing. She understands my explanation of being at wits end from the emotional strain... I still don't feel that snapping like that is acceptable. now if you ever met my wife... you wouldn't understand why we were in this situation. Things are much different now than they were 4 months ago. And I'm here to tell you... if he loves you... he will do anything.... including moving mountains. Thats what I am giving my best shot at doing....

I quite drinking, I am trying my best to give up nicotene, and I have learned to control my temper very fast.
