[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are 12 and 15.  This situation is bizzare.   They can be home with a sleeping parent or even alone.   You have not stated anything that puts them in harms way.  You never sleep![/quote]

My kids are not 12 and 15.   My kids are both tweens.   I don't know where you got 15 from.

I do sleep. My DH and kids sleep more hours than I do.

Sleeping while the kids are that age is not neglect.  Even tweens it’s ok.  If you want a divorce and limited contact just do Irrawaddy and stop with the games.  Better for your kids to make a clean break then on off again relationship at your whims.  [/quote]

I have no idea what you are talking about here. None.

Someone asked if I watched my husband 24/7 and if so how do I sleep?  I said that since he's got severe depression and sleeps 12 plus hours a day, I just sleep during those hours.  I don't know where you got that I think that sleeping when your kids are awake is neglect.  I just don't happen to do it, because they sleep at night, and I sleep at night, which is, I think, not a weird thing.

I don't want a divorce.  I might not have a choice about that, but it's not what I want[/quote]

Sleeping 12 hours a day is not a big deal.  Some people need more sleep.  Putting him out of the house and restricting visitation is not helping his depression and not a reason for supervised contact for kids that age.  You have yet to point out any abuse or neglect, just depression.  You should get a divorce already.  You clearly want one as you kicked him out of the house and restrict access to the kids.  That screams divorce and much more.  You are setting up for removing him from the home/family/kids.  Just finish it already.  [/quote]
