[QUOTE="Shari, post: 376487, member: 1848"] Wow. This sounds like my DEX. He gave away the baby's car seat before the baby was out of it. Snowsuits, before his first winter. His high chair. He gave our home phone number and address to the patients he served on the drub rehab lockdown unit! So he could "help them" stay clean... I walked 2 miles to borrow a tractor 4 weeks after a c-section, carrying the baby, to mow the yard because the mower was broken, and a short time later, he repaired the mower and hauled it on a trailer 60 miles to mow some girl's yard, but couldn't mow ours. I think his problems had to do with NO self esteem (and rightfully so...he, too, had demons that he had to "make up for") so he "saved" everyone that he could to feel better about himself. There's no glory in being a good husband or father. At least not publicly. Now, all that said, doesn't help you a dang bit, other than I empathize and sympathize. Its hard, and I finally laid down the law...when he crossed the line, I said "go". And he quite happily went. Many, many hugs. [/QUOTE]
