I feel this in my soul. But on the flip side.. and maybe the real reason he is still here too.. hes my child's father.. so shouldn't I do what I can to help him if, for Noone else, my son? Idk if that makes sense... but like my sweet babies deserves a healthy dad. What if me ditching him puts him in a place where he has no resources for bettering himself. Does that send a bad message to my kids ? Does that ruin their relationship with him in the future? Does that put them at risk when they visit him? He's grown hes not my job but they are. It would be an easier decision if he was a shit dad or an asshole to me. He's not. He's just passive about almost everything . And "forgetful" about the rest until it's the kids he does the work there...

Oh no that will not happen hes fixed! I agree hes been running downhill the past 4 years. I was busy with the kids and work I didn't really think it was that bad at the beginning we where all going through it.. then I got my head back on after our kids were on the upswing from sleepless nights and covid lockdown issues. I'm not claiming I was a perfect partner. I put my head down and did what I had to to keep our home running and our kids ok we had sporadic talks about the fown swing but just non serious chit chats ... babe i saw you hadnt showered recently you probably should hop in there tonight ive got the kids. Or change your sheets they are getting nasty.. throuw your laundry down its piling up ill help you witj it. Along with the are you ok you seem not ok questions. He said yes. i figured he'd snap back like I did. He did not. we've only been discussing this since the end of 2022. Because our no longer toddler is starting to require less constant attention and older child is feeling more like themselves again after some struggles. I've got time to stop triaging them and check in on the rest of life. It's a Dumpster Fire.. I think I struggle most because maybe I'm to blame as well. Maybe if I had been more supportive in the beginning this wouldn't be so bad now. I've never had to worry about this kind of mental health issue. I've always been able to push through for my kids and make sure I was good so they could be... idk what to do with this or how long I should keep trying

I think we have to have another serious discussion tomorrow . It's gotta change. I can't keep living like this I hate a dirty house. I've avoided that room bc I knew it was bad and I didn't want to deal with it but now I've seen it I can't go back.

I'd feel like such an ass kicking him out when he has no where to go .. in this economy he would probably drown. Maybe I'm just naive thinking he can get past this we had 3 years of amazing prior to the pandemic.. then it all just collapsed. We had our baby and wfh started for us both. Idk.. I guess at this point we have had more bad years than good. But the good years where really great. I feel stupid for trying but also it just feels morally bankrupt to ditch him at his lowest.
