[QUOTE="Jena, post: 227203, member: 4514"] that's a whole other issue. wow i can relate on this one, that was my ex husband. he would at times be great with the kids yet at other times be totally disengaged and just kind of down and moping, etc. hate to say it yet that was one of the reasons for the split. i figured if i have to handle the kids alone, and be the main person 24/7 wha'Tourette's Syndrome the point?? i saw no sense in it. my resentment grew also from his lack of consistencey and also his lack of effort. You shoudl talk to him, i don't know the dynamics of the relationship yet you have to keep on talking thru it. thing is when you have kids it's like your almost not allowed to break down. we can take our mental breaks from time to time yet their eyes are always watching how we handle our lives, gotta love that :) and they learn from us. see if offering to help him or even go to therapy with him helps somewhat. maybe with you by his side he wont be afraid. I tend to view it like a big ball of wax sort of thing, your a unit and have to work together the best you can. yes he should be there for you right now, yet if you know his nature is to be giving etc. and this is more of a rare behavior maybe extending your hand in this situation will assist somewhat??? just some thoughts.....
