[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone in a similar scenario as the OP's sister, to the outside world my husband presents as this pleasant but socially awkward quirky genial guy. At home, he's completely checked out and disengaged for most parts and has left everything to me - parenting our kids including the special needs kid who needs so much support, running the household - cooking, cleaning, pets -  while we both work. When he isnt checked out, its outbursts or temper tantrums directed at me and our kids. I could plan an outing or a trip, sign up my kid for an activity, have a kid struggle with academics and it all ends up being my fault if something goes wrong simply because I did all the work to get it going while he did zilch.

It is so so isolating and lonely and dispiriting to live like this and to be the sole parent for our kids. To the outside world, it seems like our family has 2 functional adults, that there are 2 actively engaged parents running things but only we at home know what its really like. I am tired and cant wait for the kids to be out the house, not sure if that will happen with my SN kid but I have to wait till they are adults to divorce so that I dont put them through any financial hardships or share custody with a parent who has no clue on how to be a father to them.
