Welcome to the board helpinva,


I think you made the right decision. He needs to figure out what to do with his life and you need to put the kids first.

Welcome to the board helpinva,


I agree with the other posters than you did the right thing. Plus the sad truth is once someone enters the system (prison/jail) it is very likely that they will reenter it at some point in time.

I think you deserve better, and your kids deserve a better role model than a criminal. You'll be fine, good luck!

Of course no one else can tell you what is right in your life. That decision is yours to make. But, I will say that of course it's absolutely "right" to give your children a healthy, balanced and normalized life. In fact, it's crucial, it's your responsibility. If your husband cannot, or will not shape up and get a grip on his behavior, then, certainly there are always many consequences that follow this. I hope you have a fine support system and good counsel to help you as you go through the months and years.


Best wishes,

I agree with the o/p that you should put your kids first and get them away from him before he corrupts them. Give your children a chance of a better life. Not a dead beat father who can't or will not grow up and make your children see it.
