yeah, my W would always be in bed by 9 or 10 at night. Now she's stays out until 2 am. Even the partiers are home in bed by 2. I tried to stay up until 2 a couple weeks back. It was hard. I could not handle 3/4 in the am like you've been doing. You're right if the tables were turned it would have been done. You're a very patient man. She is so lucky to have a guy like you that is trying to keep the family together. She doesn't even realize it. I really really really think if you detach and start living your life like she's not there, it will make a major change. You will look in the mirror and see a man that has given it his all. Try to convince your self you're sick of the turmoil and tired of being emotionally drained every day of your life. I know how it feels. I get so mentally exhausted that I can't even lift my arms or find ambition to mow the lawn or do anything. I know you have had a good days. Just know there will be more of those coming. You just need to worry about you and your son. I know he sees you as the strong one and will never let him down. Raise him to be better than you. I have 4 kids I am currently reassuring them that I love them and will never leave them ever. Never bad mouth his mother. If they ask just let them know that she is making some not so good choices right now. But your the rock. He will remember that the rest of his life and more than anything he will remember how you made him feel.
So if you hang in there another day..I will too.
