[QUOTE="ML, post: 258843"] Thanks everyone. I had a talk with husband about J's attitude in general and thank goodness he is hearing me out without getting defensive. We've both done a lot of growing. I'm going to avoid a formal "talk" for now. If I see it continue I might change my mind. I agree with you Totoro, home should be a place of refuge. I can't change J and he will likely never understand manster. Part of the dynamic is jealousy. J didn't have the greatest childhood and didn't have a mom around so when he sees manster getting lots of attention I think it bugs him. Years ago he had a fit that husband was worried about fogetting to pack manster's lunch and J was like "you never cared if we had lunch or not". And manster's ways just got on his nerves. I hope J gets it together soon. husband admitted to me that he was intimidated a little by J's attitude also and felt that sense of stepping on eggshells. I told him I didn't like to feel that way in my own house and he agreed. Anyway, thanks everyone. I appreciate the support. Hugs, ML KJS, you and I are going through a lot of the same stuff. We're lucky to have each other. The foot odor thing has gotten better. Truly, Van's has a brand of soft plush leather shoes that he's been wearing since August and are just now smelling because he's not been wearing socks. [/QUOTE]
