Group Input Needed: Please post anon. I separated from ex n over 12 months ago. We are going through process of organising parenting court orders. My dilemma is this: I want him to have the children more but I also dont want him to have the children more and I need some help with what I should do. He has the children EOW from 6pm Friday to 4pm Sunday. Our son has a medical condition where he requires a special drink every 6 hours. My ex n blames me for ruining our family as I left him ( I finally got the courage after 7 years of insanity). He doesnt want the children more as it is hard work dealing with our sons condition and it would mean he would have to get up at 2am every morning. I know him having the children more is detrimental to them in the long run but I also feel very overwhelmed and exhausted with all the responsibility being on me. I start my day at 5.30am, work full time where I manage 26 staff, after getting kids sorted at night I sit down around 8.30, head to bed around 9.30, up at 2, normally cant get back to sleep (it is currently 3.38 am) and then back up at 5.30. I spend my weekends paying bills, menu planning (for my sons condition) grocery shopping, washing and always try to have some special time with the kids on Saturday and Sunday whether it be going to park, movies, building Lego etc. As our son has just turned 4 this isnt going to change anytime soon. I do have to admit I am jealous of my ex getting so much freedom and so much normality and having the chance to have his own life. I cant force him to take more responsibility and i am not sure that i want to but I want a bit of a life myself. Any thoughts? Should I just leave things the way they are as this is in the best interests of the children??
