[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 99095, member: 1904"] I'm not walking out, just taking a break. It's not that he can't parent, it's that he won't and has said exactly that...he won't. Why? Because I am here....so if I am not here, it will either backfire on me or will give him some small insight into what I have had to deal with for the last two years while he has checked out and been an overly large kid playing computer games all day. To some point, he's always been an uninvolved parent but always had my back in a crunch. But the last two years has changed him so much. He gave up after our difficult child and all that she put/is putting us through. I've had surgery and he hasn't been there, I've gone through a funeral and he hasn't been there, I've gone through cancer and the resulting treatments(chemo) by myself...because he wasn't there...and it's all been by choice. Because I have always had the strength/dtermination to get through anything that is thrown at me...not any more...I am battle weary and do not have the strength to fight alone anymore.... His sister agrees, he needs a major wakeup call....and losing me just might be what he needs to think is happening in order for him to realize what has been going on.... Carolanne [/QUOTE]
