Treese,
I'm glad you are starting to wise up....don't bail him out again. Do not offer to assist him w/payments on anything, but what you and your children require.

Yes, they come in and out of our lives and most of the time, it's when they want something. It's all about them and what you an do for them. Memory loss, forgetfulness.....it's all part of the stress and depression they are dealing w.

Your mil is on target...he's not happy, but he's not going to tell you that. He wants you to think he's a man and can handle it all, but when he's alone, it's a whole different story.

I say, go out and have a good time. It's time to starting thinking of you and your children and just leave him out there. He's got a lot of lessons to learn.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
