[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 569712, member: 1514"] I wondered if it would come to this. They are so awful young and have put so much on their plates. 3 kids is so much. You and I both know it. I think you are even younger than I am and look where we are. It is really putting a whole lot of struggle on young people and many crack under the pressure. I think Tony and I didnt simply because we were either too stubborn or too stupid...or maybe too darned tired...lol. We probably should have split up many times but neither of us had the gumption to take the steps to get out because it was just too much work. And here we are almost 30 years later still wondering how we made it this far! I think the kids and now grandkids holding us together plus we just cant see being with anyone else anymore. Can your son really see himself not being in his kids lives? Would he want to be an absentee dad? It is a painful place to be. He can ask my son. Cory hates it horribly. He wants his oldest daughter in the worst possible way. She is his heart even though he loves his second child just as much but Keyana will always be his first baby. He has missed out on so many things and he has to put on that brave face to hide the pain. He is happiest when they are both together. Your son needs to really think about that. Walking away might be the easy way out right now but it will effect him and his kids forever. [/QUOTE]
