[QUOTE="jwlmarie, post: 62561, member: 3941"] Obviously, my main concern is my son. I have my own issues on the other side of the fence. His father (my ex) is an alcoholic and is active in his disease. I have spent 2 1/2 years in Al Anon and counseling. I have dug myself out of a whole that I was buried in for 13 years of marriage. I have operated in a chaotic lifestyle for a very long time. I have the 12 step program to help me with life in every aspect. My boyfriend is very committed in seeking help for his son in everyway. Both of us work with demanding jobs and we both have live in Nannies. We currently live seperately until my house is sold. I am committed to this relationship but his youngest son does effect the quality of life for all of us. The ex wife self medicates with prescription pills but still sees the children every other weekend. She does not support his diagnoses becasue that puts her in the lime light as has having bipolar which she refuses to accept. I can tell you the last 5 months have been very stressful to say the least. If its not the son acting out its the ex wife creating her own chaos. My programs tells me to let people find their own way and not to control anyone. The only choices I have are my own. All three of these children are at risk for drug and alcohol abuse due to their bio parents. Not really feeling I should bail at this point. My boyfriend has give so much positive emotional support to my son. Still open ears. [/QUOTE]
