BND you said I wouldn't like your advice but actually I totally agree with you. I've no idea why my children have grown up with so little respect for me and it hurts like hell.
Alison,
I think they act out because they are angry. Your kids have gone through alot of crap watching their lives fall apart over the past few years.
Their Father moving out of the home to shack up with another Woman, their Mother on the verge of a breakdown because of the situation.
They love both of you, and have loyalty to both of you. They also know that you can both be easily manipulated by them.
I wish your Husband would stop being such an Arse and work with you to raise your children together.
Divorce or not, children need 2 loving parents to raise them properly.
((((hugs))))
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
