[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May 2023 from OP

I'm still not sure where I want to go from here. I go through hopeful phases and then have moments where I am just done. I'm sick of the emotional rollercoaster, sick of the pain, sick of the time and resource blackhole this has all been, sick of working on therapies and having big conversations. [b]If we can't, our kids have two great parents and I feel that I can look them in the eye someday and honestly tell them I gave it my all.[/b]

Do you still feel this way OP? It's been over two years since this post. What has changed?[/quote]
What do you mean what has changed? I have kicked him out, filed for divorce, got myself a really substantial promotion ($80k-130k), continued therapy, have the kids in therapy, took the kids on several camping trips this summer. I've been working really, really hard to provide stability across every plane for the kids- physcial, mental, emotional, financial. My entire life has changed.[/quote]
Assuming they meant in relation to the bolded - do you still think your kids have TWO great parents? Do you still feel like you can look them in the eye and tell them (your children) that you gave it your all?

Getting sucked back into this toxic mess is not giving them your all. Letting an alcoholic drain half your savings for his own DUI is not giving them your all. Considering moving him into your basement because he can't even care for himself is not giving them your all. [/quote]
