Thanks pho. I know you are right. No one is going to tell H this is not OK. None of my children seem like they even care, so by me adding pressure, I am just adding stress to everyone involved.

But I just get so angry when I think how I have to do EVERYTHING. I get no choice. Yes, I know, I know, I am a parent, of course I have to do everything. But even if I wanted to take even one single day off, I could not. Even if my jerkface came and picked up the kids, my mind would still be working. I would still be planning on what is for dinner tomorrow, how many loads of laundry need done tonight, where am I going to find the money to buy a birthday present for my D's boyfriend and a billion other things.

Why does he get to go along every day and not handle a single thing? It should be neglect and abuse. HE should have to face children and youth. (and a firing squad). How can he just NOT call them?

Ok, time to calm back down. Fact, jerkface is not going to care for his kids. Fact, I have to do it. If I need help, I need to figure out what I need help with and reach out to other people.
Fact, my kids are brilliant and the biggest joy in my universe and of course I will handle everything. I dont have to handle my children, I GET TO HANDLE my children laugh
