As far as the kids, I can’t control thier mom. When I got the kids they have rules, they go to school, we do family things together.
You can when her behaviors are negligent or abusive or dangerous towards the kids--such as not taking them to school or engaging in illegal professions. You've been reminded that a few times by myself and others who have successfully taken action. You've hopefully read Joseph's situation--since stripping away her parenting he's happier, his WW wants him, and he's dating someone wonderful. I know you are not ready to do this, I just didn't want to let "I can't" slide, when you find that strength you aspire to you will say "I can". That more powerful Steve would be happier--and more attractive to ladies, if you need that nudge!
