[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 388543, member: 1233"] I don't think he would qualify for the witness protection program Probably the witless protection program though. I really hope that at some point in the very near future Katie can see that not only can her husband not be a parent or partner, he is actually doing damage to her children. The patterns they have as a family, where the father is more childish than the children, is NOT going to prepare those kids for life, love or any kind of success/happiness. It will likely feel mean or heartless or cruel or whatever to throw him "out", but if she is to give her children a decent life she is going to have to use her rhino skin and warrior mom shields and do it anyway. It really [I]isn't[/I] about meeting her personal goals, or even wanting any specific material thing like a house or car or whatever. It is about doing what her kids NEED to have in this life, about putting the children's needs about her husband's needs and demands. Maybe if you explain things as her needing to be the mother of her children as top priority and the rescuer of her husband as her dead last priority. Because her husband may not be smart enough to handle raising kids on his own, but I bet he can find enough smarts to find work if he has no food and no place to sleep and no one to take care of him. I see the hardest thing for katie being where her husband will go if/when she kicks him out. I bet she would drop him like a hot potato in a 3 Stooges film if she was pretty sure he would have somewhere to go. [/QUOTE]
