[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 316973, member: 3419"] Hi Strongmanslady, I am so sorry about you and your husband. I am sure your son feels the tension in the house. You all need to go to family counseling. You and your H need to be there for your son, no matter what pans out in the end with-the affair. Your H is still the dad and you are still the mom. Period. Do you think your son has had access to drugs? That can acct for major behavior changes. If not (never assume; just keep your eyes open) hormones could have hit, bigtime. The next time your son wants to run away, I would let him. Since he's only 12, he'll end up going to a friend's house, right? Maybe you could actually do a pre-emptive strike and let him stay with-a friend for a wk while you and your H hash out your relationship. Pick a home where he had a "good" friend, and talk to the parents first. Do not let him go to any old friend's house, as that's where kids can get into trouble on the internet or with-drugs. Or you could send him to his grandparents or an aunt's house. Somewhere close enough so he can't skip school. Make special time just for him. Take him to a movie on the weekend. Watch a TV show with-him. Play a board game. Go for a walk. Take him out for ice cream. He's just a kid, with-raging hormones in an almost-adult body. by the way, are you sure he's been "perfect" up until now? He walked and talked and hit all of his milestones on time? Sometimes we gloss over things and make excuses for our kids when they're cute toddlers, and then when they're older, we come out of denial. Just a thought. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
