[QUOTE="Suz, post: 268164, member: 29"] Well, another option is to do what I did. Rob wasn't a step child but his actions were being pretty much ignored by his Dad. And his Dad never read anything I gave him over the years about disorders and treatments. And his Dad rarely participated in the family therapy sessions we had for the last few years. He was a great provider but, as it pertained to parenting, a lousy partner. And I sat on my lips. I made husband's life a little bit uncomfortable but we never really fought about it. So the resentment built and eventually I became clinically depressed from the *stuffed* rage at my husband and son and life. And it didn't do Rob one bit of good to have his Dad so far removed. And it certainly resulted in the end of my 25 year marriage as my depression and rage made it very clear to me that I had to get OUT to survive. I don't want to scare you but mine is a cautionary tale, ML. Be careful what you tolerate. You are not doing yourself, or anyone else, any favors by tolerating the intolerable. It's quite possible that there could ultimately be dire consequences. Suz [/QUOTE]
