I know I might get some resentment from my kids. If this is the end I do plan on filing for full custody. IL law states one of the reasons is 2+ years of continued substance abuse. I told her once before if it came to it I would file for full custody. Her reply, "She would see me in hell before I took her babies." I told her the courts would find it hard to rule in her favor with her addiction. She retorted the only reason I hadn't left was she was the big bread winner in the family and I would be living in a trailer without her.

Just another reason I need to break free. Lack of respect. I pull my weight. She makes about $20k more than me. I do dishes. I clean house. I do the laundry. I mow. I do house repairs. I cook... not a deadbeat dad by any means.
