[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your insight. I am so conflicted but this is helping me process. Right now protecting my kids is resonating the most with me. I have only talked to one friend about this. She doesn’t understand why I wasn’t having these feelings before because I have known these things about my husband/marriage. The only thing I can think of is it’s the difference between my heart and my head. I feel so irresponsible and lost. [/quote]

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. The fact that you are struggling so much to make a decisions shows just how much you care about your family. I am hoping for 3, but I've heard that going from 2 to 3 can be quite challenging and even more so with a spouse who is unreliable. A spouse with substance abuse issues is serious and I hope that he gets help in order to be a good parent. [/quote]

Going from 2 to 3 is very hard. You are outnumbered- going out in public was challenging! We had to buy a new vehicle b.c we only had two sedans. I had to cut way back on work because my pay wouldn't cover the childcare. And the world is just set up for a family of 4 not 5.

I'm very very happy that we have our littlest but I'm not going to lie it was hard at the beginning. And my DH is a very attentive father and supportive husband with zero mental health issues and it was still a huge strain. [/quote]
