ORIGINAL: sirsholly The complacency you are demonstrating might seem heroic in your eyes. Perhaps you see yourself as stoic. I am very sorry to say i see you as abusive to your children. I admit that Holly can quote me anytime. I admit that, in turn, I am quoting her for truth. I admit that when I was working in Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court, this was the type of thing that could get kids put in foster care until the enabling parent got help and proved that the home situation had been remedied to the Court's satisfaction. I admit that I know you love those babies. Now is the time to show them. I admit that LaT's post was spot-on. The legacy continues, oftentimes, we choose the path it takes. I admit that my ex-husband (my "Manny" as I call him now) and I saw that our relationship was destroying our children, esp. Thing 1 (who has an emotional disorder that was made worse by seeing and hearing us fight), and we finally decided that we couldn't do that to the two precious babies that God saw fit to let us bring into the world. So, we divorced. It was hard, but we have worked like mad to become good role models for them, and now, in his hard times, he stays with us until he can get a job again, and his own place. We are best friends again, with no emotional attachment except that we both cherish our kids, and want the best for them, and will do whatever we can to help the other be a good parent. I admit that if you two don't have children together, there is no real reason to be in each other's lives, except that you all have become addicted to the chaos. I admit that walking away from him, can mean taking a step closer to your kids.
