[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690476, member: 19951"] WSM, I am so happy that you are going and family pulled together to ensure that you go. I am sorry husband is pouting, but you know, when you get to wherever you are going, hopefully he will be able to relax and enjoy the memories. Many have been married long time with step kids along with their own. It's not easy and there are times of frustration, pouting, resentment in many areas. Hubby and I went through a rough period with my son, mostly due to husband not able to accept the lies, the scams and the seeing the emotional and physical toll it took on me. But we pulled through. I wasn't aware of your fears with son not being around due to his addiction. So understandable. Many of us here have those fears with our Difficult Child that have made bad choices, still continuing those choices, homeless, on drugs, alcohol, etc. But there is hope as well, that some Difficult Child's will turn their life around. As far as husband be the controller and you the subservient, well, I have been there too. I myself, have to pick my battles, when to concede and when not to. I think you showed true courage and strength and put your foot down by not going at first and letting the family know. Hubby is probably going oh wow, now what. Yeah, sometimes us Momma Warriors have to poke the tiger back to get them to back the hell off. Enjoy your vacation and we want to hear all about it when you get back. Peace of heart to you WSM.
