I don't think anyone understand how much it hurts to have a dad that lives with you and everything but isn't apart if…

my dad was apart of my life and took interest in everything.....but my son's dad sits in the garage all day long and plays video games with his friends :( I feel like I'm an only parent at times and it sucks....when I try to ask for help he gets all mad because he has to stop playing his game and come inside ....makes me scared to even ask for his help

mine is that way but without the friends. I asked him a while back why he doesn't take an interest in his son. he said he doesn't know what to do with him... he doesn't even try. just like you all responsibility has always been on me with him so might as well be an only parent @jamiechampan

exactly .....but he's all I have and if I leave I have nowhere to go .....I want to get a job and get out of the house so I have money for myself but I'm worried when I do leave he won't know what to do and how to take care of our son..with this 2nd baby on the way I feel like I'm just going to go crazy by myself.. and when I try to explain to him how I feel ..I make him feel "like shit" and he "trys his best but I'm not happy about it just ungrateful" ....makes me scared to even say how I feel anymore @serrano_girl

yup. same exact situation with me as well. I deal with it because I feel like I put myself in this situation @jamiechampan

at least I'm not alone in this situation and other moms go through it to....I feel bad saying it but I looked up couples counseling for me and my husband. I need things and communications to change

I hope it works if you go. I've been mentioning counseling fire a few years but we never go @jamiechampan
