[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to be there for your children first. I left someone who was masking ASD for years. Then it spiraled out of control and he is no more. Life is so much better for all of us now, even his family.
It wasn't my duty to help him. His huge family didn't and couldn't help him. My duty is to my kids.[/quote]

That wasn’t “masking ASD.” Autism doesn’t cause abuse or suicide; nor does ADHD. These kinds of assumptions about fashionable diagnoses obscure the more serious issues that are likely at play that only a very qualified psychiatrist could assess: personality disorder, depression, bipolar, OCD, and/or substance abuse.

OP - I think you need to start with individual therapy for yourself to start making a plan. Also document the incidents where he puts a child into danger, and the lack of parenting, as well as any refusal or inability to work (getting fired etc). get permanent birth control so you don’t get pregnant. Then work on bringing down the emotional reactivity at home so you can stick it out until your child is old enough to care for themselves (maybe around 9-10) and divorce is tenable. Most women I know in similar scenarios stuck it out until the youngest child was around that age. [/quote]
