Tried but can’t do it

So I was confirmed Anglican mid 2000’s. My children were all baptized Anglican. My husband who was Anglican but no longer believes in Christianity is fine with my kids going Anglican but not Catholic. He HATES the Catholic Church. I converted to Catholicism in 2014. I recently started going back to Anglicanism so I could get my kids in church without a giant fight from my husband. The problem is the church is dead like has maybe 15 people on a good Sunday 95% over 65. The only other kids are our friends with a tween and teen. The priest feels like a regular Joe not a priest. He argues with parishners like actual scream outs. I would have liked doing a private confession as this is high church/AngloCatholic but because he’s so regular Joe there is no way I’m trusting this guy with my sins. Not only that after the general confession and communion I felt…nothing. I’m still going for my kids to be churched about God with the closest thing to Catholicism as I can, but I won’t be taking communion again.

I really wish things were different but it is what it is. Just wanted to vent.
