Thank you everyone.
The frusterating part is that he really loves his kids and they love to be with him.
I talked to my 14 year old this morning about me talking to his dad about stopping drinking. I told him I know that he would never put them at risk if he didn't have a problem and that the problem is getting out of...

The bottom line is always what is best for the kids, and it sucks, but you need to issue him an ultimatum.
Much love sweetiekiss
bettybruises:
This is the BEST THING you could do for your kids. Naturally it will be hard for them; however, as someone who had a father who did have a drinking problem, I am thankful to this day for my mom standing up to my dad and giving him ultimatum, and am grateful that my father chose my brother, mother and I over the bottle. It's not easy, but really you are going to be helping your children and you ex by telling him he needs to get his shit together.
Good luck lady kisskiss

I went to pick my kids up tonight.
I typically meet their dad half way which is an hour drive for each of us.
He called to tell me his transmition went out and they were in a ditch.
I went the extra half hour to get them.
When I arrived he was in the back of a police car being arrested for drunk driving....

1. document all contacts you have with the police and other authorities.

2. as the kids start to get older, have that talk with them about responsibility. what is responsible drinking, stuff like that.

3. he ever is drunk around the children and wants to take them anywhere, call the cops. my dad a few times showed up drunk, my mom refused to let us go see him. he argued at times, she called the police who took him away (due to his drunkedness). and it was documented why he could not see us.

good luck...its a tough situation to be in. talk to Child Protective Services of the state you live in, they might have information. the hotline number should be in the phone book, and they will answer questions for you.
aldremech:
What kind of sorry fucker would endanger his own children like that? mad That is something I would address to the courts immediately. CPS is woefully ineffective in most instances, but if you file an emergency hearing over the matter, the court can strip him of his parental rights, and the state might bring charges of felony child endangerment or child abuse on top of everything else.

Then I went and picked up my Jeep at the birth center. I had left it out there when I went to the...

Well boy was I wrong.
I was away from home for a very long time. Ended up going to the hospital by ambulance for pain meds at 9cm. I have only transported once before for pain meds. It was weird. Baby was born like 4 hours later, today. Everyone, including myself, was exhausted. Nice baby though. He was cute.

Today was Oaks birthday. I pushed...

Interesting reflections on life this morning

Saw the Lita Ford post on SG today... I was dragged around as a kid to band practice and shows and such. Had family in her band. There were a lot of guitars on the wall and a dirty old couch. Weird memories as a youngster there. Weird life growing up in LA.

Watching season 2 of Californication. Saw...

That is a perfect age to start out. I started playing when I was about 13, and my teacher said I should have started when I was about 9 or10. I didn't realize I was going to the damned Jedi Academy surreal

God as a personal belief is one thing.
When god A is better than anything else
and you'd best belive too, is what I rail against.
Once I worked with an annoying jesus freak,
finally told him: "Look I'll fight to the death for your Right
to belive what you will, just do the same for me".
He twigged and was tolerable to be around after that.
Al did post an amazeing musician. Good that your guy saw it,
to see the possibilities of the instrament.

2 sick kids.
1 kid woke up with a bloody nose. There was blood everywhere.
The other is passed out on the couch with a horrendous cough.
I'm feeling a tingle in my throat so is the hubby.
Will the herbs keep me well through this one? That is the question.
Everyone else can get sick. I can't. It wouldn't be prudent.

OK so...What is going on ?

I have been super busy. I'm exhausted actually. I am trying to catch up on sleep. Do you ever?

My son turned 14 about a week ago. We got him a BMX bike....
