I understand you love them and want them to be happy, that is good, but at your expense. If what I believe you are saying is correct, they're only happy when you're miserable. Sometimes life gives us few choices because of the choices of others and it seems you are in such a position. So, why not choose the one that makes you happy, they are at fault, they've forced you into this position of misery, do not give them the satisfaction, be happy, live in joy and think about those children they need to see you happy and it's difficult to fool children by pretending your happy in front of them. This is what I meant by them being miserable, they have no influence on you when you decide to live a life that's full of joy and children that are smiling because you are happy, it's healthy for you and the children. If they want to be awful people you can't change that, you can change how you live despite what their doing so make happiness your life.

Well our opinion on this is going to differ, my main concern is that you can find the joy your life needs, deserves. I find those things from scripture and try to pass it own for anyone, to help them, suggesting things that apply to their situation. My concern is for you, you are not happy, it's because others are dealing you a bad hand, you do not have to play the hand they deal out, please change it for your benefit and your children's benefit.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
