[QUOTE="seekinghope, post: 184458, member: 5528"] Thanks Bran for the support. It was really hard to go but my other children need to know mom is there for them too. No, I really can't depend on his dad to do much. I don't want to sound neg. it is just that he never has. He has been the dad who visited them on vacations took them to the movies. dinner, "Mall Shopping'. He spoiled them, and that was O.K. ,that was their relationship. In fourth grade my difficult child pitched for the baseball team. You think as a dad and a man he would have made every effort to come see his boy pitch. But no, that's just not him I do not blame him for anything. I blame myself. Choose WISELY in your mate as he will be the father of your children. We get along fine but I cannot pressure him into doing things. He had a drinking problem when we were married and did not do well under pressure. He has been sober now for about 13 yrs. and good for him. I think the divorce and the lessened responsibility of family helped him to get sober. So you see the conundrum I am faced with???? One day-at-a-time for now, I guess. I did try talking to his dad about school and he just doesn't want to until the last minute. So I wait, hopefully not for the other shoe to drop but maybe a successful relationship between father and son. Who knows??? [/QUOTE]
