My husband basically says his kids are his business and he loves me but stay out of it. I feel he's dropping the ball, and allowing his ex to cut them out of his life. And if he doesn't get his **** together she may do it permanently, if she hasn't already.

In my mind the woman sleeping and possibly married to his son has no business raising children, and when he found out he should have threw her on her *** out the door, put his then 18 year old son in therapy, and took over parenting. He dropped the ball than and is doing it again. I said to him, why did you have these kids if you didn't want to support them?

On top of that he has us living hotel to hotel while he does his job, and supposedly the money we wouldn't be paying towards rent would go to this fine he owes, which his ex knows about. Not working out that way, just ****ing me up really. Only a little over 1k has been paid, in 6 months. My patience has worn thin.

My mom yet again was right. She said to him, your life is a mess and you have no business involving anyone, namely me, in it until you get it straight. Of course gullible person that I am, got sucked in and destroyed financially by his ways.

I really don't know what to do.

You certainly have your hands full. It's a shame you didn't listen to your mother.

I got myself into a similar situation and it is still bad. My husband has not changed in anyway regarding his enabling both of his children and their mother. Both girls are grown now but far from independent.

I'm sorry to be negative but I don't see things getting any better for a while but I wish you luck if you continue to want to try. I stayed now for 17 years but wish I had bailed years ago when there was still hope of me having some control over my life. Now I'm bitter and lonely.

I have been trying for years. I finished my bachelor degree hoping it would help, completed insurance licensing hoping that would help. I have no luck.
