I love everything you wrote Gypsy! So true!!! And my H has started paying attention and reconnecting to the kids this past month, so I do think they can change and realize what they are doing (or not doing), but they do have to realize that themselves and there isn't anything you can do. It's their problem.

I agree you should get a sitter and take care of yourself Lwb. BTW, I was raised by one single parent and I believe that is totally enough for a child if that happens. My dad was a really loving dad and I think as long as a child has one loving parent they can count on that is what's important and your kids luckily have you! \:\) Karen
