[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 229839, member: 3907"] Yup. I'm with Meowbunny. It can be so hard when you're ready to detach and let your child live with the consequences of his actions, but the other parent is still in "enabling" mode. I would suggest that you leave husband to deal with all further difficult child issues. Let husband clean up the mess, let husband set and enforce whatever ground rules are in place for difficult child visiting your home. Somewhere in the archive is a list of Detachment 101 phrases that we put together for use in situations like these. I suggest that you look it up, print it out, and put the phrases to use. Perhaps husband needs a dose of detachment so that he can get to the point that you have already reached. Sorry that you're having to deal with this. Trinity [/QUOTE]
