[QUOTE="Shari, post: 388663, member: 1848"] Yeah, you can ignore the little things when there's good things taking place to counter it. I think I am looking, and I'm just not finding any good right now. Things hit the fan with Wee, his comment at difficult child 1's party about cgfg that makes every act of favoritism just burn me to my core (and his admission that it was wrong, but only a semi-sincere attempt to correct it unless I call attention to everything), the car thing that's been going on for years, piled on top of difficult child 1 having to come home and clean up our house in order to hold his party, finding another cooler of dumped beer cause he was too lazy to take it from the cooler to the fridge, demanding everyone handle his stuff the way he wants it handled, but complete disregard for anyone else...yeah, I'm a little done. I got in my truck last night to haul off another 50gal barrel of garbage. Now, recall, I was told the batteries are fine, but that there is a ton of stuff hard-wired to the positive side of the batteries that causes them to drain faster than they should, right? You can't even leave trailers plugged in because the brake box is enough to draw them down (fwiw husband wired most of this stuff before I knew anything about it being really bad to do). Which is what is also killing my starters...repeatedly starting the truck with low voltage (this info from a diesel mechanic that works for Cummins) Until I get all that junk off the positive side of the battery, its gonna require some extra TLC to keep it from happening again. So I got in last night to the trailer extension plug still plugged in (but trailer unhooked), his cell phone charger and another charger plugged into the cigarette lighters, and the A/C on. Three of those items are drawing juice all the time. The A/C is definitely going to draw juice when you're trying to start the truck. I don't know how many times I've told him to turn the A/C off before you shut it off. And there it was, again. Another smack in my face that he doesn't have to do anything I ask. About 3 years ago, he took our team in a parade, and to get them there, he took them down the side of a major highway.
