[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 134890, member: 1697"] IN a kind of opposite way so many people over the years commented on my husband being home. SOme would say things like oh it must be nice for your kids to be able to spend time with your husband. (and then they would sneer or smirk, or let me know they were being abnoxious about it) On one hand it was sorta nice my kids did get to know their father, BUT the reality is....what my kids "got to know" was daddy was QUITE extensively mentally and physically ill, helpless, dependant, etc and unable to interact much with the kids at all, and entirely unable to contribute much to a home or family environment. He may as well have been a toddler hanging around in an adult body. SOmetimes a familys living situation is a choice, sometimes it is result of a tragedy, sometimes others have no clue what the circumstances are surrounding WHY a family does things the way they do. But if they have enough time and energy to go around poking their judgement in and seeing only negative things about other people, perhaps they have a dull boreing uneventful life and not enough to keep them busy enough.
