Hi Nychole and welcome. I am so sorry to hear not only about your health issues, but your relationship challenges as well. Together, they are not a fun mix I am sure.
My first instinct, where a threat is made (especially against a child) is to take it at it's face value, and treat it as being very serious. I don't know your husband, his personality or his history. What I do know however, is that most of the fathers I know would never threaten their children's well being. Not as a joke, not to get a rise out of the other parent, never.
You have some really important decisions to make here. I can't tell you what to do, but I can recommend that you make your kid's safety priority number one!
Do not fear that CPS will take your children away because you have health issues. This simply does not happen. This is another threat meant to scare and manipulate you.
I hope that you will do all that you can to ensure the children's and your own safety. I wish you the best of luck and strongly suggest that you work on reaching out to your support system at this time. Family, friends, co-workers, church, ect...make sure that you are surrounded with care in case you need to make a move to stay safe.
Good luck and post with us anytime you need our support.
