Stand up. Poor and tired, but more than this.

If it makes you feel any better, I even printed out articles on Mid-life crisis for my now ex to read. He took them and didn't say a whole lot. He never was a knight in shining armour for me though I believe he wanted to be. Thing was, rather than figuring out how to do that for us, he just found someone easier to impress.

An example of how he could have done more: While we were still arguing this whole thing out and he was renting a house, we had a major ice storm and I was without power for 2 days. He just had to light a pilot on the heater for his rental and would have had heat, I had none. He wouldn't bother to light the pilot but just piled on blankets.

The 2nd night the kids were fed up with his ideas and came home. Luckily the power came on right before we figured out how to all get close to the little fireplace. I sent the kids to him because he could at least keep them warm....they just can't be bothered when they are in their messed up fog.

Keep having fun with your son. Can you invite friends over and watch movies or make potluck dinner?
