I like watching games. I like beer. I have two kids.
I like ice cream. I don't have a TV. I have a husband. I am having marital problems. I have 3 kids. I have one stepchild. My stepson is very good at baseball. My stepson wants to go to college.
How are you and your kids doing today? Any update with your husband? Not much new on my end.  Ive tried calling and texting all day but I haven't gotten any response.  I just dont know whats going on...my kids know that something is wrong but I dont know what to tell them That sucks. I am sorry you and your kids are going through that. Have you ever thought about talking to a therapist? Yes, but he wont have anything to do with it.  Ive been asking for the last several weeks to talk to friends, or talk to professionals but nothing.  He acts like nothing is wrong.  He makes me feel so guilty for caring.  My stepson all of the sudden started performing terribly at his basketball games.  I feel like whats going on at home is affecting him.  I dont know what to do! That's terrible. What do you think about just going to therapy for yourself and that way you can strategize with someone about what to do for yourself and the kids? If it helps you, then maybe you can consider if your husband might join you later. What do you think about that? I would definitely be willing to try that.  Really anything at this point.  I just cant keep feeling like this.  When you went through your stuff with your Ex did you have anything like this or am I just crazy and the only person in the world that has to deal with this nonsense. No, unfortunately it is quite common. While it seems crazy now, I can promise it gets better if you get help for yourself and your kids. It's always difficult to know what comes next, and the best thing you can do is talk to someone to help find that grounding and feeling confident in whatever you are doing to work through this. How old are your kids? 3, 7 and 17.  Theyre amazing and my whole world.   The 17 year old is my step son but I think of him as my own son so I never call him my step son.  If things dont work out with his dad and me he will be devastated.  I just dont know.  I need to just relax and go take a bath I think.  I was going to have a glass off wine but were all out.  All thats left in the fridge is beer.  That looks like it will have to do for now!
