She is never home, so I take care of kids and that is most important. They need stabiity especially now. That is not an excuse,. It is just reality for me and them at the moment.
Are you a prisoner in your own home? You mean you aren't allowed to go out without the kids? She is never home? Are you documenting this and how long it's been going on? Tell her that she has to stay home 1 or 2 nights a week with the kids, you have to get out and stretch your legs a bit - you're not asking for her permission, you're telling her that she has to do this, she's there parent just as much as you are, if she isn't willing to do this tell her you'll pursue full custody of the kids since she doesn't want to take care of them - seriously!
