[QUOTE="judi, post: 28374, member: 148"] Our son's troubles have definitely strained our marriage. We have been married 27 years and our son has been a difficult child since he was 15. We realize (as some others pointed out) that we cope differently. I'm an advanced practice nurse, very type A who rushes around "doing" things. Mind you, they are not always the right things, but I definitely do them. lol. My husband's way is to sit back and see how things are going before committing to a course of action. Neither of us is right or wrong, its just the way we each work. We realized early on that we don't always see eye to eye on what to do with our son. It hasn't gotten easier and in many ways much harder to handle what he is or isn't doing. However, my husband and I have agreed to disagree. We don't belittle each of our choices. We both do have the same goal as I'm sure you and your husband do also. You are just taking different roads to get there. Sometimes talking it over with a disinterested third party helps. I wish you the best. Your son is young. Working out a set way of dealing with his problems now will definitely help in the long run. Take care. [/QUOTE]
