I’m leaving my husband tomorrow.

You're doing the right move in leaving an abusive relationship in which you get isolated from friends and getting raped.

I'm not sure leaving to your mom's with the kids is a good idea though. I'm not a lawyer, but it could be construed as kidnap and would mean you lose custody.

Are you afraid he'd hurt you if you just tell him you're moving out and going to file for divorce? Isn't it better if you talk it over first(if you don't feel threatened)? Even if you're past staying with him no matter what he says, talking it over and imagining together how your life would look like after getting divorced could lead to an easier divorce in which the children don't get hurt.

How far away are your parents?
