[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 86054, member: 3579"] MB: Separation won't work. I offered to leave her with the kids, and she wouldn't have it because of what it would do to Dancer. Conversely, it would take a small nuclear weapon to separate [b]her[/b] from Dancer, especially over something she feels is not her fault. And ultimately, I still think that this is what McWeedy wants, and now that he has it he won't let it go. I asked him last night if he truly wanted to leave, and he said "no". Hoping to connect with some vestige of humanity in him, I followed up with "what can we work on to let you stay?". I was shocked by his answer: He said "I don't want to stay, either. The only reason I don't want to go [i]right now[/i] is because my life will s.uck being on my own". It was implied that it wouldn't s.uck as much as staying here, though, under the tyrannical rule of a despotic, psychotic parent who just doesn't "get it" that drugs and free-wheeling lifestyles without boundaries are okay. I know there's still a few months between now and then. But at this point, barring a miracle of God (or him getting arrested, institutionalized, or something similar) I don't see this ending any other way than how McWeedy wants it to end; with him walking out the door in a fit of self-righteous anger and throwing himself into the druggie lifestyle. Like I said. Not what I wanted, but it's his choice and I can't stop it. I'm simply trying to come to grips with how I'm going to handle it when it happens, as well as trying to figure out how I'm going to handle the likely crisis that will emerge in my relationship with wife when he leaves.
