Kati Asked:
“I’ve been married for six years. I have two children. Ive been with my husband since I was 17. He has had a rocky past with alcohol and drugs as well as a little bit of a criminal past. He was unable to help support my kids and keep a roof over our heads so we lived with my parents for the major part of our relationship. He’s been to jail, rehab twice and has told he has a bad liver and still continues to drink(not as much but still drinks). He has no support system other than myself and no family who cares about him what so ever. I feel i resent him for some of his behaiviors and I’m not sure if I love him any more. He clings to me and the stress of letting him go is almost unbearable because he begs and pleads and is after all the father of my two children. I feel like i might want to fing my independance and find out who I am on my own. He has moved back in with myself and my family and is cleaning the house like a mad man and taking care of the kids really well.. im not sure what to do. im really wishy washy about him and all i want is to know what i want or even how to handle this. He has done some really messed up things that i don’t know if I can forgive him for. like stealing from my sick grandma and and not returning from the store when i sent him for tylenol for my son(he didnt come home till the following day). dont know if i want this to work even though he’s improving. what do i do??”
