[quote=Anonymous]BTDT.  Once exDH and I split, life actually became much easier.  We now had defined time “off”.  When we were exhausted we were only responsible for ourselves.  If I wanted to veg on the couch silently, I could.  No one was trying to engage with me.  I felt that I finally had time for myself.  When the kids were with their dad, I could go to the movies or out to dinner without feeling guilty.  DD is the older child and we gave her the option of going to the same house as her brother or staying with the other parent.  She did both depending on how she was feeling.  When she got to HS, she asked to go to boarding school.  It was a great experience for her and gave her the opportunity to have a somewhat normal teenagehood.

ExDH and I are still friends.  In different circumstances, we both might have tried to make it work.  We were both just so mentally and physically exhausted.

DS is now 15 and has been in a therapeutic school for 6 yrs.  Life is so much better.  I’m sorry you’re going through this.  It’s really hard.  Be kind to yourself.[/quote]
