[QUOTE=Fandy;2947372]
why would you want to "save him from embarrassing himself further"????
Ummmm because I am a human being who gets no joy out of seeing people make fools of themselves?
Maybe my choice of words was poor. My sentiment was that I don't feel HAPPY knowing that he's making a fool of himself and wish he weren't but I can't do a damn thing about it. Is that clearer?
you put a lot of energy into his issues...you have to figure out why you feel the need to do this....give him enough rope and he'll hang himself....but don't get involved with his problems.
Well I guess I disagree. I want my kids to have a father in their life and I don't want to give him enough rope to hang himself. I want to focus on me being healthy and not keep doing what I'd done for a long time and whether any of you see that that's changed or not, I know it has.
you are going to have separate lives...you need to live your own. you are joined by the kids, and their welfare. set a good example.
Where am I not setting a good example? I am kind of confused here...
