[quote=Anonymous]We have two kids. One NT, one with SN.

Our son with SN is extremely difficult. He’s 6, huge, strong, fast, and coordinated. He engages in a lot of challenging behavior (eloping, violence, screaming, putting things in his mouth are not safe, self harm, etc.). He requires an adult with him at all times and that adult cannot be doing anything but watching him (e.g.-you can’t make dinner while watching him because he will grab the knives or try to open the oven and burn himself, etc.).

I am completely done with my marriage and I want out. The problem is, neither DH nor I can handle DS alone. He really requires nearly two adults at all times (one to watch him, one to do all the tasks of living, like making food).

Our life is also so intense and unmanageable that I don’t think we could administratively make a divorce happen. I don’t know how we’d execute a move or selling our house, etc.

I feel so stuck. We and my DH haven’t had sex in years. I’ve tried to just be a coparent with him, like coworkers or neighbors who live together and raise kids together. But I don’t know how to keep going like this. It’s god awful.

Am I just stuck with this situation forever? Anyone BTDT?[/quote]
