[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 127725, member: 3208"] Hi Mikey, I am not surprised but feel bad for you. One thing I would say though is to try to keep out of difficult child and wife's relationship. I have never appreciated my husband trying to "protect" me from my own kids. It only makes me come more to their defense. Your wife is not going to appreciate you trying to keep difficult child from hurting her. Treat her like the adult she is--you cannot protect her from her own son and she should not feel like she has to choose between the two of you. If she is going to come around to your viewpoint it will have to be in her own time and on her own--I think if you try to force it you will just delay it. The way I see it you sort of have her cornered right now. The letter sounds yucky--I know how frustrated you must feel. She is not helping him at all by her "support"--I'm sure he is able to manipulate her very well. We moms have an overwhelming need to take care of our children even when that is the last thing they need. So sad. Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
