[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do what you need to do for you. It’s the oxygen mask metaphor. Put on your mask before you help others with theirs.[/quote]

Except it's more like she's not going to help the kids, she's going to have them deal with their dad without her.[/quote]

They are adults! They have to forge their own relationships in life regardless of parents' marriage status.[/quote]

It's not "forging a relationship", it's caring for an elderly adult with a personality disorder.  That's what she's sticking them with, because she doesn't want to do it.  Sorry but "My husband is super horrible so I am justified in leaving, and also this will be easy for the kids to deal with on their own" doesn't make any sense.[/quote]

Their father is not entitled to their care, so no one is sticking anyone with anything.  If they feel like doing it, they should, otherwise the dad is on his own.  Too bad, should have thought of that before being a jerk to everyone.  [/quote]
