[QUOTE="witzend, post: 161615, member: 99"] My advice would be for you to slow down and think this out again. If your biggest gripe with your husband is that he doesn't spend enough time with his child, it seems contradictory to divorce him and expect him to take the child more than the usual 4 days a month. Many dads of difficult children won't take them at all. I don't know what you have tried with your husband to work this out, so maybe I'm off base. If it were me, when he came home from work, I'd pick up my purse and tell him "It's been a hard day and I need to get out of the house before I crack. I'll be back at 9:00 (or whatever)". Then when I came home I would tell him it's too much to expect me to do all of the parenting, and you are going to start by taking two evenings a week for yourself. If he doesn't like it he can leave and you'll take half of everything he owns plus daycare and health care for your son for the next 11 years. If you [i]are[/i] going to seperate, think it out first. Will there be enough money so that you [i]aren't[/i] stuck with difficult child 24/7. Can there be if you get a good enough attorney? [/QUOTE]
