No end

I'm not seeing an end in site to this mess. Everything blew up last night with my husband, and i had to face the reality of 'what if this doesn't work and i have to step away?'
I have two small children and i haven't worked in nearly five years because my husband has moved us all over the country. How do i step away from him and his daughter while still keeping things stable for MY kids (that are his) ?!
I am in a no-win situation, as is my husband. The only one winning is the SD. She is getting absolutely everything she wants and has learned how to work the system. Husband wants what's best for her, but because she uses the 'i'm going to hurt myself' threat, he feels he can't do ANY.THING. And he wont do anything.
Meanwhile, i have to deal with her here with me aaaaaall the days she doesn't go to school.
I don't want her here.
Now her counselor has told them any kid dealing with 'these issues' should get one 'mental health day' per month.
WTF?!!
I am so sick to death of this counselor encouraging my husband to enable this entitled princess, i'm ready to explode.
How is this my life right now ?!

this is all relatively new to me, and so far i've realized to step away. I DID step away from all the school nonsense. My husband keeps dragging me back in. In order to be able to say we all did our best, i have to participate in the counseling meeting to establish how things are at home. Do i agree? No. Can i back out? Yes, but that would put the spotlight on me being a bad step, and not the ridiculousness of the wasted time SD is causing.
