Hang in there I think you are doing some fantastic things both for your M AND for your kids. Be the strong one, the grown up and it will show.
You can't make his decisions for him. He has to make them and learn from them. I know it is hard to take a hands-off attitude but that is the only way he will see that he is making mistakes. I am struggling through the same sort of sitch by keeping my mouth shut and letting my W make her own decisions without criticism or guidance from me. If she is going to fall on her face I need to let her. She will figure it out. I pray everyday for her. I also pray that she sees that life will be better by returning to the family, but when she figures that out is between her and God.
I am just doing what we are all doing...taking it one day at a time. You are continuing to inspire me with your strength and determination. Keep up the terrific work! You WILL do this!
