Wifes severe depression, MLC, and suicide attempt

LT,

It must be tough after two years to not have co parenting with your ex. How do you even do it?

After two years? It’s been longer than that and I do not co parent with my ex. I parallel parent. Big difference. I learned that nothing I say do, do not do, do not say…will really matter. Nothing will change her expect her. It’s called DETACHEMENT.

So you can parent your kids – even when your partner is on another planet. Not easy…but not easy does not mean impossible.

I wish her the best, but will move on and go forward without her.

The best thing you can do for YOU and the kids.

Best of luck in the future self employment endeavors. My best buddy owns his own business and it is tough, especially the first few years.

I need help from the Ladies. This may even be a subject that has not been discussed here before.

LOL…This cracked me up. It brought back some funny memories of the time I had to show my daughter how to shave her pits.  What a great time. LT, you are gonna learn a lot dude. Keep asking.

So this morning I get email from wife that her attorney has sent the divorce decree to my attorney for me to review. She asked me to look it over as soon as possible as neither of us can afford to keep this going.

My response back was to ask her if she had contacted the co parent counselor we are obligated to by the court agreement we have in place. I told her we could be held in contempt. My attitude right now is that if she cannot honor the present agreement why will she honor any other.

Since we live in the same state….I assume you mean the co parenting class that is required by the state PRIOR to the state granting a divorce. If it is, I can tell you that you will not be in “contempt” but your case will be moved to a later date. In CT, both parents have to attend the parenting class, which honestly imo is a joke. I suspect that you are expecting her to adhere to the things taught in the class. Don’t. You will be setting yourself up for disappointment.
