Thank you to everyone who took the time out to offer me some perspective on my situation from yesterday regarding my SO and his kids. I thought long and hard and decided that I didn't want to bring in 2015 with a man who ignores me or kids who are sanctioned to do the same. I gave him two weeks to move out and find a place of his own. I spend most of the day reading the stories on this site. Many of them could have been written by me. Without knowing my backstory, you all nailed my situation to a tee!

I decided that I didn't want to be on this site for years complaining and lamenting about a situation that from what I can tell gets worse before it gets better. I don't have that kind of time, energy or inclination. I deserve a man who knows how to parent, communicate and respect me. I own my own home. I have a successful career and can have any man I want. ALL of his friends have said at one time or another "damn.. how did you snag her?" All of my friends have said "you can do way better" But when STRANGERS said it on this site without knowing anything? Something just clicked. I feel like a brick was lifted off of my shoulders.

I sat him down and read him every single one of your responses to my post. Thank you all for calling him a douche. Mr. Massengill sat there dumbfounded. I felt like I had a posse!! So thank you. Your advice was exactly the confirmation and motivation that I needed. Happy New Year to you all.

PS.. I hope that it's okay if I come back on here should I need more advice on how to expedite his departure should he start dragging his feet. }:)
