[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I built a career that requires frequent travel overseas. When we had our first child, my husband essentially bailed on me and left ALL the care taking on me. It started as early as in the hospital on day two when he had to change the diaper while I was confined to the bed (emergancy c section). I had to rely on the nurses to step up and help instead.

Since then it’s been a rollercoaster. We now have two kids, he’s been to anger management, we’ve had marriage counseling, I talked to a lawyer about my options and decided it’s best to try and make it work. He also has severe anxiety so now on pills to calm him. I quit my job because it was impossible for me to balance halnding the baby 100% alone and manage my workload. It’s now been several year, we have two kids, and I’ve tried to work as a consultant but not getting enough gigs. I’m still expected to be there when they are sick, have dentist or doctor appointments, volunteer at school, be home when their schools are closed etc..

[b]I have no idea how I can manage going back to work full time yet he is telling me I have to[/b]. I want to scream because he has no clue all that I do to manage the house and kids. He still will not change diapers. I have to insist he does it to help me on the weekends, along with other general caretakeking. It is draining and I dread me getting a job, having to take a ton of days off of work, and eventually getting fired.

How the heck to other working Moms manage? Also, we have no family in town. It’s just us two and he works a ton of hours, including the weekends. [/quote]

He has spoken to an attorney as well. He's been advised well. File for divorce before getting a job. Divorce is inevitable. [/quote]
