No offense taken. The kids are afraid of my husband because he is serious and stern but he has never hit them. I think it is more like they don't have the comfort they have with their mom, they walk all over her but would never dare do that with Dad. They respect him more than they do her, all he has to do is talk to them and they listen. I agree that they are burdened with caring for their mom. It is something I feel very sad about as does my husband. According to him, she threatened to commit suicide if he ever took the kids from her. Despite her health problems she is a good mother and loves them very much, as they do her. It is all so very sad.
