I may be divorced. My husband says he can just take the kids when I'm not around and go with them and then get full custody in another state so I'll never see them again. I don't think he can but I'm obviously scared. He can't really do that, can he? And if he does, what can I do? Can I call the police? He is their father and has rights over them and I don't want to take them away from him. He has no legal reason to hide them from me. They are happy, healthy and safe here, the house is mine and I am the only one with a job. I do not know what to do. I'm scared of getting a divorce for the only reason he always tells me he'll get full custody just because I have anxiety and depression and am "unstable" just because I have bouts of anxiety. anxiety and panic. I'm exhausted and I don't know what to do. I'm in Ohio if that helps.

Your husband is bullying you, and trying to make you doubt yourself. If he doesn't have a job, and can't support himself, he's certainly not going to support those kids with full custody, nor is he going to just up and go to another state with them. He doesn't have the money to do that, unless you guys have a joint account. Good luck, but don't let him bully you. You are the one with the job.....
