Ditto. I have done everything to keep the family together and focused in telling them kids to trust me, we will get through this, dad will get better. But now the kids are saying I was as bad as their dad staying with him. I think they have lost respect. They say we have ruined their childhood and given them memories they will
Never forget. I feel absolutely terrible and can’t bear they feel I have let them down. They said I involved them. I couldn’t help they witnessed him and my reaction. We are all close, they hear and we then talk. This became a pattern over the years but now say I told them too much ????. I’m open and felt they would understand why we have to help dad. They want me to leave him or they will leave if dad doesn’t change by getting help.????. Our kids are 22, 20 and 13. I love them to bits and this has cut me deep with feeling I have let them down. Have I been a fool. I’m certainly not strong and trust me he never gets away with it. I don’t stand for any nonsense but I remember him and who he was and who I know he wants to be.
