[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 161125, member: 3626"] I totally agree that this is not a win situation. I don't even see it as a power play by your son. I do see it as a young man who isn't stable and a therapist who's a total idiot (sorry, but the match burning thing was just ridiculous in my opinion). Your husband needs to quit taking the easy way out and step up and help his son. Maybe the best thing you can do is step back and just be the mom who cuddles him when he needs it, laughs at his bad jokes and sillness, just enjoys him. Tell husband all discipline is on him. Maybe that will help change things a little. However, if you feel the need to leave, don't factor in a "win/no win" scenario. Leave because you truly feel it is the best thing for you. Be there for your son as much as possible. Do your best to have a friendly relationship with your husband regardless of where you're living. It will make things much easier for everyone. I hope you can find a way to get your son at least a little more stabilized and may your husband start seeing that he needs to work with you, not against you or parallel to you. [/QUOTE]
