I need your opinion

That could...

And I feel like the forums are a place where women who didn't receive proper parenting come in here asking, "Will you be my Mommy? How about you? Anyone? I could sure use a Mommy.....not that I'm going to pay any attention to what you say because I'm a big girl and do what I want."


...be a new forum feature; Paid mommying. They pay you a consulting fee for what they should be doing and you give them advice, some literature, stats, background info, an idea of what life could be and they either get with your program. Or don't.

if you get certified with the state, then your clients could qualify for some new money or something based on how well they've completed your program. In turn, the state would grant you millions to set up and promote the program plus exposure at clinics, shelters, ER's and at the dentists office.

What are the chances the someone like this will straighten up their life?



I don't know what the actual numeric odds are - but I've seen it happen.

Unfortunately, I've seen it not happen much more often.


So my answer is: Unlikely.

Sorry.

I hate when people answer a question with a question...BUT...what would you tell your daughter she should do??? Is this how you want to raise your son to act???


Good luck :huggy:


THIS is exactly what i asked myself when i made the decision to divorce my ex. I even asked him, if it were him in my shoes what would he do... If i was the one who refused to see the light and make any changes? I decided for myself pretty quickly that i would tell my daughter to leave and make a better life for herself and her kids. It's hard to grasp at first, but that was the reality check....thinking about my daughter living my life and the advice i would give her. I gave myself that advice, took it and made the change for the better.

He doesn't have a problem, you do.
He has booze, drugs, sex, food, and a place to sleep. That doesn't seem like he has any problems.

What incentive does he have to change?
Now, that's not very nice....she does have a problem....him.

Maybe she should get pregnant again. He might change if they had another baby.


Having another child never saved anyone or anyone's relationship....she needs to take the children she has now and run! It's not a healthy relationship for any of them.

That's what I said. She has a problem, not him.

He's doing exactly what he wants, getting high, getting laid, eating regular and sleeping indoors.
The only problem HE has is some nag that wants him to stop, but she'll shut the hell up after a couple of good slaps across the mouth.

she might want to stop ENABLING him to do these things.

Thanks for your opinion

She won't have to worry about all this....the foster/adoptive parents that raise her kids after he either hurts her bad enough to make it impossible for her to raise her kids or kills her, will make sure that they aren't going to follow in their parents footsteps


Ok maybe I should have expanded on the domestic abuse it is not physical more mentally and emotionally. Not to say that this any better…but no he does not beat me. For an example name calling, constantly checking up on me, I can’t go anywhere but work without him, accusing me of things I haven’t done, belittlement and pretty much just trying to make me feel like crap. I know it’s not good for me or my kids. He mainly has a drug problem. He is presently in a rehabilitation center. I just wanted someone’s opinion that has been thought this. What are the chances that he will actually change? I’m seriously thinking about moving while he is in treatment…would I be wrong to do that. I don’t know what to do…what if this does help him? I’m so confused…my kids keep asking for him. :bawl:

Thanks for your opinion

This is my first time here. Here it goes...I’ve been with this guy for a very long time. We met when I was very young. When we first met it was great we both smoked you know what and it was fun. I finally grow up...him on the other hand; he has just got worse and worse. He has become a liar, drug addict and domestically violent. He has done some really bad things to me. I also have two kids with him. What are the chances the someone like this will straighten up their life? I pretty much know after some many times of going through this it will probably not work...has anyone been in this kind of relationship before? If so what did you do? Please any advice is appreciated.:shrug:

As soon as he lays a hand on you, it is time to go. He is not a man if he is doing that. Do what is best for your kids and for yourself and leave immediately! Do you have somewhere you can go?


I'm in the process of trying to find a place to live that I can afford. Thanks!

I stupidly dealt with an A-hole for 6 years. He was ridiculously possessive & controlling and if he had gotten his way, I'd have no family or friends in my life. He was threatened by my career and always tried to get me to believe that nobody would ever love me like he did. Luckily for me, I refused to live together and called off a wedding before I really screwed my life up. Also, I didn't have kids with him so it was a lot easier for me to leave. He didn't smoke anything but he did do steroids throughout much of our relationship. Roid rage is not just some rumor - it really happens. So I understand the verbal/emotional issues that can come along with drug use. When I woke up to him trying to strangle me one night, I finally told him to eff off for good and called the police to get him out of my apartment because he wouldn't leave. If your man is that verbally abusive and controlling, it could be a matter of time before the abuse turns physical. IMO, if he can't or won't get off the drugs then you should get the hell out and quick. He's in rehab. Was that his choice?

I wish you a lot of luck with whatever decision you make. Ultimately, nobody can make this decision except you because you're the only one that knows him. Is it possible for him to change? Sure, anything's possible. But is it likely? I'm not so sure about that, unless it is HIS decision. Like others have said, he will not change unless he is ready to. You can "nag" all you want. Hell, everyone he knows can "nag" him all they want but unless he sees something wrong with his behavior, he won't change.

How about your family?


I don't have much family and they have worse problems than mine so that won't work. I have decide to leave him. Now is the hard put...I wish I had more support from my family :frown:
