Hello everyone,
I need some advice as I'm very confused. Me and my husband have been married for 25 years. We have 3 grown children and a 7 year old autistic son.

Welcome to the board jadedkate2008,
Bipolar? Hmm, I would have guessed Narcissist or Borderline Personality as I know a few of those. .

Thanks, tobermory.
Thanks itwin. Yes he did admit to having a problem before and has said he'd rather be alone. This is indeed some type of mental issue. But he does know right from wrong and should not have abandoned his son.
Thanks for the references, I'd like to read them.
Thanks peaceyma.
No I don't have any job skills, I've just worked in restaurants for min. wage.
Thanks, peaceyma.
I've never thought of it that way. Yes it would be worth it to be rid of Mr. Selfish. I'm a good manager of finances and could live decently. Not only is he toxic, his whole family as well. They have hurt me time and again by their actions. Me and my kids were never invited to family events and we felt like we were unwelcome.
Back last summer his sister had tried to "set him up" with another woman. I found out about it and confronted her. I told her how dare she try to do such a terrible thing. I informed her I never wanted to speak to her again. Me and my husband have been fighting about it ever since. He says he expects me to accept his family. Huh! I owe these people nothing, my sister in law disrespected ME and she couldn't care less about me and my son. I tell him this but he won't listen.
