At Last

Well everyone I have reached the end of my rope and got to the point that I told my husband that he needed to choose between his daughter and I. Even though it is tough to make this decision I needed to do it since my health was deteriorating and the environment was becoming emotionally toxic to everyone and my 7 yr old son..My husband is hurting and I cannot take that pain away but he never set his foot down with discipline and for her to respect the rules of the house and disrespected me..I love my husband and always will but he did not let her know that rules are not to be broken or for her to respect me and to straighten out in regards to the home and school also..She has gotten in trouble with the Dean and a couple of teachers... Half of his family is angry of the decision that I had to make and I do feel upset due to this but I cannot tolerate someone to take over the household and do whatever she can with her dad..

Congrats. Now I need to do that. I'm sure SO's family won't care b/c the 2 years he has had custody, not a single one of them has offered to help us out in any way shape or form.

She lives in another country Mom had sent her here 3 yrs ago and it's been stressful for all of us . Mind you my husband has an illness he was diagnosed with 6 yrs ago ever since we have been trying to deal with it and counselors even said if you have not dealt with the issues at home why bring something or someone else into the picture and it turned out to be a disaster..

Good for you. Nobody deserves to live in a toxic environment. It can be entirely too damaging.

I did think of that but he cannot leave me and our 7 yr old son..I did let him know if it made him happier to make his life with her I would not stand in the way and I was and I'm prepared to make my life with my son alone if it reaches that point..
