[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sickness or in health OP.  You don't get to abandon your kids because you don't like their mom anymore.  Insist on therapy, counseling, meds.  Don't be a selfish jerk and leave your kids with a depressed shell of a person. She will likely get at least 50%.  Who is going to keep the house clean while your kids are living with a depressed person?

Having little kids is HARD.  This stage will pass.  If it's important to you to get out more, have more fun, then do it without her if you must.  But don't leave your kids with that.  OR talk to a lawyer and see if you can get full time custody.  You of course do want full time custody, right?[/quote]

This isn't about not liking her. This is about a fundamental problem. an Emergency. I take my kids basically every free minute on the weekends to spend time with them, do activiteis with them, and get htem out of the house. At what point is it her responsibility to seek help and follow through with help given/suggested to her? FOr how long do I stay, unhappy, stressed beyond belief, and putting on a happy face to the world, while I am breaking down inside from the pressure to keep us ALL afloat?[/quote]

I think it's time for a sit down with her and lay it on the line: you can't continue this way; she needs to go back to her doctor and see about adjusting meds; she sounds like she's in a really deep depression. Yes, it's an illness, but I don't think you're required to wallow in it with her. If she won't go back to her doctor and discuss meds, then I think your within your rights to separate until she will.[/quote]
