HB - thank you. My tears for the day. You really touched me with this one.

One of my biggest obstacles or problems (??) is that my H has not also abandoned the kids----he stays connected to them with baseball/softball and for the most part "gets them" on his days (although the girls often end up with me for part of his weekends). I know I should be happy that he hasn't disconnected from them as well----but I haven't read about many MLC dads that do this.....so I often find myself wondering if I'm the insane one and that this isn't MLC.....even though I KNOW there is something wrong. I do think (of course being in MY position I would think this), that it would be easier for ME if he wasn't so involved with them....mostly because he seems to find problems with so many things that I do that involve them, and we are now on completely different pages as far as HOW involved with ball they should be---and I've let him be in charge of that..........but that's the way it is.

Whit - I've read A LOT of threads, different sitches----a lot of the same thing, and it seems that man or woman going through MLC alot of the stories are the same.
