[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 53367, member: 3419"] Yikes! [i]"that parenting is not for him."[/i] Oh, poor, poor pitiful me! Let's get out the violins. Hey, he already had his coping mechanism... an affair. What do YOU get? (My response when people ask about "what if" your husband had an affair is, "Does she do windows?" ...cuz I'm going to get something out of it! LOL!) Quite frankly, if you're staying for the sake of the kids, don't bother. He's a horrid mentor and role model. You can force him to pay alimony and child support. The judge will force you to get a job, but by that time, both kids will be well into gradeschool (these court issues take time) and you'll have had time to plan. You have more than you need to cope with. It's time for your husband to step up to the bat. Sorry, no sympathy here for him. But boatloads of sympathy for you. For starters, tell him he's staying home to take care of the kids 4 nights a wk. while you take night classes and/or go out with-your friends (or better yet, both!). He doesn't get a choice. So there. Hmphf. [/QUOTE]
