[QUOTE="klmno, post: 112602, member: 3699"] At the risk of offending anyone, I'll be direct with my opinions (it sounds like you're pretty objective and starting to come to some of these conclusions on your own anyway). 1) Glad you found the site- sounds like you need some cyber friends and there are great people with good advise to offer here. 2) I agree with the responses above 3) I think boyfriend is trying to manipulate you and you already have your plate full and he will add to it, not help it, and if he's doing this now, things will probably only get MUCH worse after baby is born 4) Being the best mother you can be is the best assurance you have that no one- not even bio-dad- will get custody from you 5) You probably are depressed. Not only that, but usually, (Not always), when people are raised in homes where there is substance/alcohol problems they have problems as adults until they are helped- those problems might be becoming an abuser themselves or they might be seeking out substance abusers as partners or they might be depression, anxiety, you get the idea. It's a pattern that usually needs intervention or some assistance to get stopped or treated 6) I agree that your son needs evaluation and treatment. I do think, however, that if he has been living with troubled marriage, then divorce/Daddy gone, the boyfriend in picture in his short life, in all fairness, (not saying this is your fault- just the situation), if you concentrate on providing the most stable home/life for your son and forget boyfriend, establish a routine, minimize arguements with anyone- Dad whoever, the behavior might improve some on its own Just my opinion- not expert advice [/QUOTE]
