Very Intrusive Thoughts

Considering dumping boiling grits on my soon-to-be-ex-husband. We’re still married and came to the conclusion a while ago I want to divorce but am now sure of my decision. He’s got a severe gaming addiction and hasn’t been part of our kids lives for years. He doesn’t work, celebrate, or spend any time with our kids unless we have a big fight then he might give them 5 min. I have pneumonia and pretty sure the only reason I’m up today is rage. I’ve been in an in and out state of consciousness for the past two days. I know I’m dehydrated as my cough got to throwing up and dry heaving and i haven’t even been able to drink water. Husband said he would take me to doctor but has yet to do so. I woke up at 2:30 today wondering what the noise was, he was screaming at our kids for being in the fridge. I asked them: have you ate anything? Nope. Asked my husband he said idk. I made a quick instant soup mix and grilled cheese for them, having to sit in a chair bc I’m too dizzy to stand. I asked my husband to help me back to bed, I sat there for over an hour and fell back asleep. I woke up again and he was still on his game, kids asking for more food so I order pizza. Husband yells at kids for eating a whole pizza. He tells me I should go and rest and I’m being ridiculous. Get on call with him bc I can’t walk back in there, he ignores me and tells me he’s busy bc he got invited to do something on his game, hangs up on me. I got so mad, I got up and packed some of our stuff and am washing other stuff I know the kids will want. He’s still in there laughing and having a grand time on his game. All our kids are under 10 and our oldest has been trying to care for the younger ones but keeps getting yelled at yet he is literally neglecting them. Fucking 8 years old and more caring and responsible than a 40 year old man.

What a disgusting, selfish, and horrible excuse of a husband and father! 😡 He's a humongous man child! Definitely do everything you can to try to get full custody.

Ewwwwwwww a man child how disgusting I feel really bad for your kids the mental abuse that puts on them especially the older one how sad 😭

I’m sorry that you and your children are dealing with this.

I would consider serious counseling if you love him but put your kids first always

Why are you not sure of divorcing him? He's a horrible partner and father. Why stay?

@JL I said I am sure, I was indecisive in the past as we’ve been together over 10 years and he was supposed to be getting help.

I left him last night and he put on the same act, promising he’ll change when we both know he won’t. He said I was making him an absent father, I told him he already was. He threw a pity party saying I was blaming it all on him, I said I had nothing more to say. He asked if we would call when we got there (my family’s)so he knew we were safe and he could say goodnight to the kids, shouldn’t have bothered. We called, he didn’t answer so I texted him, he texted me back like 3 hours after and said sorry he was in a group thing on his game and didn’t hear his phone then proceeded to freak out and think I was with another man bc at this point it was 2am and the kids and I were asleep.

JFC He is a piece of work. Please do everything you can to get 100% custody because I 100% guarantee he will be extremely neglectful of the kids if they're left alone with him. I'm sorry he's putting you through this 😞 Of course you're blaming it all on him because it's 100% HIS fault!
