WHATEVER you do, don't involve the child in this if it is not about their being in harm's way. Don't let the child be hit by this by saying his/her dad is a piece of shit or whatever. I see a LOT of parents doing this and talking to the children about what a deadbeat the other parent is and it makes me sick. If the child is in harm's way, that's another thing entirely, but if YOU just aren't happy with him, make damn sure the child and dad still have a chance at a good relationship. Maybe that's what he is afraid of and why he hasn't left, he might just want to be in his child's life......
Staying together for the child isn't good either though..... just make sure he knows (providing he is a good dad) that he will always be in the child's life, and maybe that will help him go.
