I am sick with a chronic condition, in bed almost all the time. I feel like I am shortchanging them in so many ways. I can't help with homework, I forget to take care of things, I can't drive them to their appointments, I often don't have any good meals for them. Their dad gives me plenty of money, but there is so much that you just can't hire, and even hiring and managing help I cannot do. They are frustrated with my condition. Their preference would be to live half the time with me and half with him. But he is so rigid, it is either almost all him or me, for him, with one of us taking them only every other week-end. He is a good dad, but will not be flexible about his custody preference. He can be temperamental too, which is why I took them in the first pace. But, it's now about a year, and I can say that, while I adore them, I am failing them.,.
