[QUOTE="Astrea, post: 748504, member: 23892"] Dear Recovering Enabler: Your words really brought me comfort and were sorely needed. It's good to know that my instincts are in the right place insofar as the next steps to take. Yes, we have caved more than once. However, my husband is far more forgiving that I being from a large family and the second of four brothers. Nevertheless, he has come to the same conclusions as I regarding what we needs to do. At the moment, it's a matter of timing. He's having some problems with the law and laying a TRO on him will greatly complicate matters. To make matters even more difficult, he just told me yesterday that his girlfriend is nearly three months pregnant. I don't need to tell you how unsuited he is for fatherhood. He says they plan to terminate, but if he gets a job, he might keep the baby. It would give him a reason to work. Though not a fan of abortion, I believe this child deserves a chance in life and wouldn't get it under the present circumstances. So I will continue posting. The response by all of the folks here has been so supportive that it's almost overwhelming. I'm just surprise at how man of us are suffering through the same problems. Please take care as well.
