BM I just wanted to drop by and say Hi and thanks for being the first to post on my thread in Newcomers.

I read your thread here and I am so impressed with your detachment. I am finding that the hardest - like you say H is spewing at me and I just want to run into his arms because thats where I have always felt safest.

And the stuff with the kids is just heartbreaking. Mine are 17 & 10 and each struggle in their own way with their dads decisions and behaviours. He has been pretty good about keeping to a schedule with D10 - every other weekend from the Thursday night. I thought having to do the whole school thing Thursday and Friday was a good idea when a friend suggested it - stops him from just getting weekend fun time, instead has to pack a lunch, get to school on time, and keep up with homework etc - actually be a parent in other words. He struggles with it and I work hard not to rescue him.

Anyway I am inspired by your attitude and will keep stopping by
