Don't ask or hint anymore, just do it. Make a plan, file for custody of your kids, and file for divorce. Take matters into your own hands, you're responsible for your own life and happiness.

Quoting AF2011:
Do you have a family member you can go too? Doesn't sound like a very healthy relationship

He threatens to take the kids away? Yeah, NEVER going to happen.
Take the first step, go file the paper work for divorce and child support/custody. Unless you are a raging alcoholic or drug user he cannot take your biological children away from you. Get out of there. Seriously, it sounds like an abusive/controlling situation. Men who are abusive will use your kids against you, use finances, make threats, etc etc. Please don't take this anymore. Get help and get out.
I am willing to bet your husband is verbally, emotionally, and financially abusing you. I am also willing to bet he uses money to keep you from leaving. He controls all the money, the car, the bank accounts, right? So, how could you possibly live without him? I am also willing to bet that he uses the kids against you as well. Does he ever threaten to take them away or call CPS on you?
These are empty threats. Pack up, and move on. He can't do anything. If my hunch is correct you can get a free lawyer if you are a victim of domestic violence (which includes financial/emotional/verbal abuse).
I'm sorry I take this very seriously. Not just abuse cases, but every case where a woman feels she doesn't have a way out. You do. Everyone deserves to be happy. The only person who can change your circumstances is you.
