Basically, by getting rid of something/someone, you end up in a better place, i.e. with more than you had before.<BR/><B></B><BR/>It must be very frightening to think about being a single parent to 2 kids, but it sounds like you're already there. Daryl is actually being child #3, and that's not a partner. He's not contributing to the house, the finances, childcare ... I know it sounds extremely harsh, but you're life would absolutely be easier without him, and there'd be one less mouth to feed! Also (and this is a BIG thing to think about) your son is learning how to be a man from his father. I'm sure you can raise a much more respectful, loving and considerate son on your own.<BR/><B></B><BR/>I hope things get easier for you. I've been with my share of Daryls (although before I had kids) and even though it was always really hard to do, I NEVER regretted removing them from my life. My best friend is going through exactly what you're going through now, and I wish every day that she would move on. Be well and take care of yourself and your children.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321952353418611878noreply@blogger.com
