[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 618828, member: 17503"] I agree with everyone who's advising that it's time to let go of him...it sounds like a pretty toxic relationship in my humble opinion...nobody deserves that kind of treatment...what do you actually get out of it? you said this below-- how is this man a good role model? in what ways is he demonstrating what a 'good man' should be like? he's lazy, fat, critical, cruel to their mom, not giving or compassionate...it seems like you might be feeling defensive for him given all these responses, but ask yourself how this relationship is REALLY benefitting you and your kids? (playing video games, really?-- what about bike rides or walks, playing basketball)... I know it gets repeated alot on messages on this website but this really would be a good time to reread 'codependent no more'.... [I]My kids also adore him, especially easy child since he has no other positive role model in his life (his dad is in his life here and there but only because he doesn't want to pay extra support.)
