I just need to vent a little... I met this wonderful man got engaged, moved in together and was happy. After moving in together I started having to deal with his crazy ex- wife, his son (who resides with us) emotional/ disciplinary issues. Which is fine, I knew what I was getting into with having another child in our home.. But now I am beginning to see the extent of his financial woes (multiple bad debts, repossessions, and not to mention the fact he just did not file taxes for several years.. resulting in an estimated 12K or so...) Not only that, he's not as ambitious as he was in the beginning, not as attentive to his or my children, just kind of lazy.. I am also the one who sch. everything from child care to extra curricular actives, etc.I don't know what to do. I feel overwhelmed and everything seems to be on my shoulders. I feel like I just have two more children to care for... What do I do?

Money woes can be fixed, but don't expect behavior to change when someone gets married. Marry (or not) the man he is now, not the man you hope he will become. -
