[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 133790, member: 3626"] First, welcome. You will find a lot of support and caring here. It's a great place to vent. A couple of questions. You say your husband is an alcoholic, was the ex also one? Any chance she drank while pregnant? The reason I'm asking is some of the symptoms you're describing fit into the fetal alcohol syndrome/effect ranges, especially the inability to do more than one thing at a time. If she did there and if your steps have it, it is an organic brain disease for which there is presently no cure. Who diagnosed the kids and how long ago? It is common for Dxes to change as kids get older, so it might be worth having them re-diagnosed. So long as your husband is drinking, you're up the proverbial creek. He needs to get some help. You can't parent alone and, in reality, you shouldn't be parenting at all at this stage. You haven't been in the picture long enough. For now, you should be more in the role of a dear aunt -- making suggestions, supporting your husband and only stepping in when absolutely necessary for health/safety issues. Again, welcome. Hope tonight is a little better. [/QUOTE]
