I'm so sorry your H is being so ignorant. That is the nicest word I can use for him right now. I'm so angry for you I could spit.
I wish I could be there to watch your kids K. They are such special children and really need their mom strong. Of course, a strong mom comes from having strong support.
Like Barbie said, can any of your friends watch the kids for just an hour each day so that you can be with your dad? What about after school play dates for them? Have another mom take them home with her kids for an hour of play time after school.

I am so sorry to hear that your Dad is maybe critical. I hope that despite what you said, that your exH can be a support to you at this time, even as a friend, as you supported him at the worst of times. Thinking of you Maria, Al xxxxx

Sorry things have gotten this rough. I know the feeling of being angry at the H for not being there, being supportive. I was reminded this week of something we have both heard before, about how the H cannot give something he doesn't have. It is sad to think maybe they are unable to be loving and giving people at this point...
But everyone is right, focus on your dad. Spend time with him however you can. You are always talking about birthday parties and events with friends. Even if you have never asked any of them to watch your kids before, now, is a good time to do it. I am sure they will understand and help out if at all possible.
(((((Kalni))))), You continue to be so strong trying to handle it all on your own. Is your H aware that your dad's condition has changed and may now be critical? H is a DAM and may need it spelled out for him that you NEED him to watch his kids so you can spend time with your dad and supporting your mom. I really hope your friends can help you out with this.
