three of the 4 children are his and he said i can file for a divorce,sell the house(which everything is in my name) and me and the kids is gonna have to find another place to live cause he wants half. lol now just last week our daughter asked him to buy socks because she's tired of me spending all my money on the kids so she gonna make him accountable for some things they may need(she's 15)well she asked him and he said okay but never got them. now i just found out she did that yesterday,by which time, he STILL hadn't got the socks so i confronted himm and he tells me that he's waiting to see how much the dry wall stuff gonna cost before he spend money(mind you he's doing work around the house now since i want a legal separation) but when we go over to my girlfriend house to watch the game(because he didnt pay the bill,our direct tv got turned off) he brought some beer and liquor.but yet he said he was waiting to finish the wall before he spent money.this is exactly why i want to leave him

I am in the same situation.  I have 2 children from my first marriage, which my hubby now treated like gold while we were dating.  He always made sure they had what they needed.  Now that we are married and have a child together, he has pretty much left everything inside the house to me.....which includes making decisions regarding the kids, discipline, practices, conferences, dr appts, cleaning, cooking, housework, laundry.  I am a married single parent.  He does what he wants when he wants.  He shows up to things sometimes, with the cell phone attached to his ear.  I don't know about you, but I am speaking with an attorney on Friday.  He is also a verbal abuser....and that has a lot to do with why I want him out also.

I assume the kids are yours from a previous marriage. Is this correct?  Do you love him?  Is he jealous of the kids?  Something is making him angry.  Maybe suggest counseling with him or a trial separation.  He needs to be there for you
