Step Families Support Group

I'm not sure that this post specificly belongs here..but it was the closet I could find.
My fiance has two daughters. His divorce/custody battle hasn't been pleasent and it still isn't over. He's been living with a friend for a little over a year now who cares greatly and wants to help the best she can. But his ex doesn't like the place and doesn't allow him to have the kids there. I'm currently staying with my mom taking care of her while she's sick so I can't let them stay with me whenever unfortunately. Work has been hard and he hasn't been making much money. The friend he lives with has been patient and tried not too ask for too much from him but its to the point where he owes her a couple thousand dollars now. He's been getting more and more depressed and understandably so, but he lashes out periodically and takes his anger out on those of us who are trying to support him and help him. He sees everything as a personal attack. I hate to see him so upset and I don't know how to help him or get through to him. Its really hard not to take his ourburts personally...I'm completely lost at this point. All the people around me say I should just leave him. But I can't see abandoning someone I love when they need me, whether they'll admit it or not. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice?
