[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-

Thank you for those who recognize that taking care of two children under 3 is a job.

Also, my last baby was born at 26 weeks, was less than 2 pounds, stayed in the NICU for about 4 months and came home with medical issues.

What was I supposed to do?

My DH needs help.  It’s more than losing a job.  It’s an underlying pattern of job loss, drinking, impulsive behavior.  He has a good heart, and is thoughtful but I can’t live like this and he actually can’t either.

I guess I see a temporary separation as a way to have familial support, and have some space to figure out what is in everyone’s best interest.

I am 35 years old and not ashamed to say I need my parents at this time of need.  My parents are both 60.  My father still works.  They have more resources than me and they are concerned about their grandchildren.  They do not want to take away the grandchildren from their dad.  In fact my dad wants my DH to join me eventually.

Also, if my DH said he would miss his kids too much and not want me to go... then I wouldn’t. [/quote]

So why can't your parents pay for daycare for your children and you get a stable job with benefits?[/quote]
