[quote=Anonymous]I don't think divorce is a reasonable next step for many reasons but you should take the following steps:

1. Implement a hand-off procedure. Any time one of you leaves, you must tell the other that you are leaving and which, if any, kids are with you and the other person must acknowledge what you said before you leave. Every time.  Calling out to the person and then taking off before you make sure they heard you isn't enough.  Even if you aren't leaving the house but are handing off supervision of the kids, take the same approach - like if the kids are in the bath or whatever. That way, each of you knows where the other is and which kid(s) you are each responsible for.

2. Meet with a parenting coach to learn about what each of you can do - separately and as a parenting team - to ensure a safe and stable home for the kids.

3. Meet with a marriage counselor to work through any anger or resentment that is lingering due to these issues. DH may need to see a therapist on his own, too.[/quote]
