[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many terrible dads?  Especially Millennials.  They should be better.  Why is their behavior tolerated?[/quote]

Well, DH and I are late Gen X, not millennial, but…look, my options are to either tolerate it or file for divorce.  He won’t do counseling.  I’ve tried talking politely, begging, yelling, negotiating, threats, nagging.  Nothing works.  I’ve explained that my doctor has expressed concerns about my mental well-being.  He doesn’t care.  He says he loves our kids…and I believe he does.  I know he wanted them very badly…we went through IVF for them.  I just don’t think he realized the responsibility involved in raising kids, especially when they are this young.  Frankly, his mom did everything in his family, too, so that’s the behavior that was modeled for him in his childhood.  
I’m trying not to file for separation or divorce, because I know he will want joint custody…and I don’t feel I can trust him with the kids while they are so young and dependent. [/quote]
