Just can't seem to get it right

So fight tonight.   As many know the election is over and we have a new President.   Anyhow for the past several months we've had to listen to my husband bash one side of the election.  Tonight I asked him to stop.  I said the election is over and thus the trash talk can stop, especially since its upsetting my daughter.   Well apparently that's attacking my husband. I also told his I was tired of hearing the bashing as part of my family voted that way and I love and respect them and him bashing the people who support the guy was getting on my nerves.  Politics often don't make peace I know.  Anyhow I'm like ok we'll just agree to disagree but stop saying the people who supported him are stupid.  

The evening went on and then its time for bed.  He tells me he's sad that he feels like he was attacked.  I said I was sorry again but that I wasn't attacking him but merely asking him to stop bashing.  Needless to say it escaliated to him telling me once again that its my daughter or him.  I told him I guess my daugher and I will both move out.  I also brought up that despite the trouble and show of non respect that his son and daughter have shown I've never asked them to move out.    His son doesn't even eat dinner with us except a couple of times.  I can go days withouit seeing his son.  DH then goes on to add that my daughter stays up in her room when he's home and only comes out whne I'm home.  Well I've been home for 30 minutes before my kids come out sometimes.   His kids on the other hand have been known to return without his knowledge and be home for two hours  before he notices.   His kids also stay in their rooms all day when we're both here or when I am here by myself with them.    Well I told him my daughter due to the dramatics here is planning on moving out  by the end of the month or as soon as possible.  

I'm so close to ending this marriage.    My daughter is not rude to him , she often sits at the table and talks with us, she sits with us every morning before she leaves for work.  His daughter often stays in her room until it is time for her to go to work. He claims my daughter rolls her eyes at him, doesn't respect him but that his kids love me.   Ok, that must be why his son runs downstairs when he comes up and hears me in the kitchen. 

This brings up something I haven't written about.  The continuing saga at work of which I'm tired of hearing about.    Anyhow, SD has drama at work and is dating not dating supervisor.  I think sleeping over at each other's houses in their bed constitutes dating or at least a little more than friends .    The three times said friend has spent the night here he has been too drunk to drive home.  The two nights she spent at his place she has come home about 10 in the morning with a hangover. Both nights DH wasn't aware she wasn't home in the morning.   She still doesn't have a license.   The drama at work involves this supervisor we'll call him J and another supervisor along with another boy I , and a girl T.   T and SD daughter hung out one afternoon but now SD is afraid of her and that she will attack her.    J was dating T but is no longer but T says they still spend the night together sometimes.   T is now sweet on the other supervisor M.   However human rsources has gotten wind of this and is telling them to can it.  SD thinks both should be fired.  However, remember she has spent the night with J but its ok because they're not dating. However she suspects that T called human resources and reported SD and J as dating.  I'm not the only one that questions this relationship.  There is a no dating co-worker policiy probably in an effort to head off drama LOL, and J could be fired so they've cooled it work.   However, last week it all came to a head as T hired someone to key J's car and it was caught on camera.  T was jsut seen getting in and out of car that later came back and the driver got out and keyed the car.  Also thrown in here is a Halloween party that I has  warned SD not to go to as T was going to be there.   SD went, dressed really sexy and three girls attacked her for being too pretty,  so she says and J did nothing. That factors into that now as J has told SD he drinks so much he blacks out and doesn't remember things, he has no knowledge other than what was told to him about the almost attack.  He has also been pulled over for drunk driving.  SD is upset that he's not texting her etc. but come to find out he's drunk almost every evening.   Umm ok sounds like someone you should be hanging out with.   Now SD is hoping that T will get fired and then she can get more hours since she is currently not on shift with this girl.  However SD is also thinking about getting a different job due to the drama and the fact that all these co-workers J, T and I have been friends since High School and see her as the interlopper.  Ugh Anyhow, in the conversation about how J drinks and blacks out SD wants to make sure that her dad doesn't hate him and that he still likes J.  and why isn't he texting her.   DH and SD work for the same company but in different divisions.  We now know how she got the job.  This drama has been going on for about two months and SD will interupt my daughter when she's talking at the dinner table to talk about this. 

DH also accused my daughter of talking over him when its actually the other way around.  He constantly talks over her and interupts her.  She stops talking when he does it and has taken to leaving the table when he does it at dinner.   I told my husband that i would start alerting him when he does this as I"m pretty sure he doesn't realize that he's the one talking over my daughter. 

Almost forgot to add after months of saying SS was too skinny and that not eating for days was not normal, SS goes for his annual checkup and lo and behold he has an underactive thyroid and prescribed mediacation.   After taking one pill SD and DH saw such an improvement in his mood, he was eating again and lo and behold social again.  His energy is up.  That lasted three days. He is now back to eating once a day , lunch at 1;00 consisted of a tortilla with Nutella and a soda.  He turned down pork loin steak , twice baked potato at dinner .  However, because they are now so concerned about him , BM is coming to live in town for two months to nurse him back to health.   We'll start the cycle of gaining a bunch of weight, losing it and gaining it back again I'm sure.  We've also decided to return to school for the fourth time in three years.

Are you happy? I've said before that your posts always make me sad - there seems to be no happiness in your life. Until now, though, I didn't realize your DH could be such a jerk on top of being a poor parent. Seems like a miserable situation - what are the good parts?
