Suze Orman says the same as your Dad, bt I do not know what applies to single parents.
The Perfect Storm, three bombs in one may actually be a blessing Why drag this crap out for months and months?
Don't feel obliged to do anyting for your H.
You are not Poor Morgan. I would own those nights at home with the kids like a badge of honor. That is most sane people want as opposed to his life. Believe me, my job is to party and be out all night with a bunch of singletons and all most sane people want is a house filled the love of kids. We know this is a huge loss for our H's but it is not our job to wake them up any more. There somes a time when we must cut the apron strings. Sorry for the parental idiom but think selfishly for a change. Take care of Morgan first. This may feel foreign to you in the beginning but as Dr. Ellen says, "Feel the guilt, then do it anyways." Moms always putthemselves last, hs and kids come first automatically. Take time for Morgan. Get a sitter even on your day. Do whatever you can to make yourself happy. His loss. His loss completely. H is not your responsibility.
