[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous].. darn it. This is the OP. Hit submit by mistake.

Anyway, we can't afford therapy for me but I think my therapist would say to forgive myself for resenting him, and to take care of myself.

--I used to ride horses but we can't afford that. When I gave it up, the resentment got so bad. I didn't have my own or spend a lot. It was costing $200/month for my lessons. He resented my wanting to keep doing it and get more help from his mom so I let it go. I try to do things I enjoy, such as hiking with our kid, but the pain of giving up this thing that was mine has been huge. I feel resentment because I work very hard and am not materialistic but feel like buying name-brand shampoo is living beyond our means, and it's not my fault. 
--ive asked him to temp or work at Starbucks or something like that and he refused forever. I recently asked one of his friends, whom he has basically avoided this whole time, to get in touch and give him some real talk about that.

I feel like my kid loses no matter what. Either this situation will start to make her life worse because she's worried or she'll lose her house and school friends. If and when that happens, it'll be after I spent years working harder than almost anyone I know.

It just sucks.
