To think divorcing is not as easy as people make out?

Everytime I post something about my DH I’m met with unanimous LTB. But it’s not as easy as people make out when you’re poor, have no family or friends support and rely on his family for support as your own mum still talks to your childhood abuser so even the thought of moving back home fills you with dread. I know my life will be worse and my children will be in danger if I leave the safety of my own home. My Inlaws I trust 100% with my kids. If I left DH my relationship with Inlaws would not exist. I couldn’t just turn up with the kids! No way.

but people on here LTB for every little thing.

No. They don’t.

They do. But that's also partly because people always present themselves in the best light when posting. I know a couple of people IRL where it's nothing like they describe.
Anyway having finally managed to get the search function working looks like OP should indeed leave.

I say LTB quite a lot. And I mean it. Do you mean that posters say LTB because they are pretending their own relationship is perfect? I don't think that's true - a lot if posters don't bring their own relationship into it at all. And many of the LTBers are women who have LTB themselves and are much happier for it. Fwiw I am happily married, but I don't say LTB because I am comparing an OP's relationship up to my own.

If your in laws are lovely, there's no reason to think they wouldn't still assist you because of a divorce!!

They will still love their grandchildren.
