Alive,

I think what really is going to f with the kids is when/if they divorce and if he doesn't do something to moderate this situation they just might.

He is resentful as H about her leaving the house all the time. He can't stop her from leaving, but he can certainly cause her to parent a bit by not enabling her to force the kids on him all the time. My wife did this for years, well until I stopped letting her. It is strange, when I decided to Get A Life and do a few things in the evenings, perhaps she realized it is hard work to single parent. We are both pretty good parents, so the kids certainly didn't suffer. And my kids are in bed by 8:30 PM so there was ample time for me to leave after they were down.

FWIW


I'm a man . . .
But I can change . . .
If I have to . . .
I guess . . .
