[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 112683, member: 3647"] Ah Jessica. If that makes you crazy, then make room on the crazy train for one more. My DEX was never physically abusive, but he was a serial moron. He continues to be a serial moron. He has made 8 kids with 5 moms and has no job. He owes me close to $20,000 in child support and has the audacity to ask me to drive our daughter one way for visits. However, I know his childhood, and I know that he and one of his brothers were beaten regularly while his other 3 brothers were not. I know his father was a drunk and his mother let it happen. My heart hurts for his childhood and for the little boy in him that never healed. I have also forgiven him for the wrongs he has done to me. On the other side of that coin, I have made amends to him for any wrongs I did to him. The difference is, I go out of my way to do him right now, and I can't keep up with forgiving him because he keeps screwing up. He can't get through a phone call without some BS about something to cover his butt. My point is, I fell sorry for him sometimes, but I drew the line at rescuing him. Finally. He is responsible for everything he does anymore. I loved him with all my heart at one time, part of me always will, and it hurts me to see him struggle, but it is not my problem. So no, I don't think you are crazy. I think you are compassionate and human. Just don't be his savior. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
