My relationship with my dad has always been strained, and recent events have only deepened that divide. He divorced my mom when I was a baby, and she passed away when I was just five years old.

I’m starting to feel like I have three kids instead of two. Today was just another example of the growing frustration with my husband’s behavior and I don’t know how much more I can take. His pattern of weaponized incompetence is wearing me down and today’s ordeal pushed me one step closer to the edge.
I apologize if this is long and rambling. I just got off the phone and my nerves are shot. I (38f) called my sister (41f) and asked her to please reconsider TTC. She has been trying for almost 3 years, is on welfare/social aid and is permanently disabled. She cannot afford a child and is
