They don't know. We haven't told anyone in the house yet... But my older children are acting like heathens!!!! Not listening to me, refusing to clean up their messes... And my oldest (5) just informed me that his abusive alcoholic father (who I'm separated from and our PFA just expired) is better than me... He does nothing. No Dr appointments, no school activities, only has them for supervised visits every other weekend and is pretending to be good now... But he's better than me...

I am ready to rip my hair out... Hormones, plus disrespectful, children are not a good combo. Advice? Something similar to you happening??? How do you handle it...?

The 5 yr old has been my "deputy mom" and sidekick until recently. I feel awful.
