I just want to say *something*, but I don't know what it is or where to start. Good vibes feel so useless in this situation. You need practical help and you need it now. What's the deal with the insurance? Can that be a mistake? Is there some sort of 'hardship' clause? (I know this is the US of A, so probably not... but it might be something you haven't thought of).
Yes, you're strong. But god it gets tiring being strong with no one to help.
I understand the philosophy behind the state being able to charge in domestic violence cases. BUT... there must be some kind of recourse for the 'victim' when such action impacts unduly on them and their children. Are there any women's rights organisations in your state/locally? They may know if you have access to any sort of compensation or support. I don't think there's anything you can do about Charles's situation (he needs a good lawyer!), but hopefully there might be something you can do about the impact on you and the girls.
Oh, and I think sometimes it's OK to say to the girls that you're feeling... sad or worried or overwhelmed. But to reassure them as well. They're not silly, they know you, they know you're under pressure. Just let them know that you're working through it.
Look after yourself. You know on airlines they say 'fit your mask first before helping others including children' - that's coz if you can't breathe, if you're not well, you can't be there for everyone else. So take care of you first.
