[quote=Anonymous]Lived through something similar. DH wasn't sure about a second, then got on board. #2 arrived in the midst of some big career drama for him, and probably depression and some mid-life crisis. It didn't help that #2 was a very high maintenance kid due to minor health issues. It was a very very hard few years for all of us. I decided I would take on as much as I humanly could for my kids' sake. And I did, worked FT at a demanding job and did every single piece of the parenting. But it's come at some cost to all of us. Somewhere along the line DH got better about everything - stepped up and we're now a mildly dysfunctional but largely normal family.

I probably could have handled things better - forced DH into therapy, demanded he do more or at least complain less. Or I could have divorced him but honestly my assumption is that this would have made everything harder if only for financial reasons. So I have no quick fix ideas for you OP. But you can tough it out and eventually things may improve.[/quote]
